5 Zona 1 Zona 4 Zona 2 Zona 3 Zona 3 Zona 6 Zona 6 Zona 5 Zona 5 Zona 7 Zona 7 Sitios de restauración clave en estrategia de recuperación Río Colorado:  ZONA 1. Corredor conectado  ZONA 2. Miguel Alemán + Hunters Hole  ZONA 3. Parque lineal en SLRC, puente  ZONA 4. Sistema ribereño, plenamente funcional  ZONA 5. Sistema ribereño, conectividad entre Zona 4 y Zona 7  ZONA 6. Acciones internas de México; visión integral; importancia socioeconómica  ZONA 7. Visión integral del Delta. Alto potencial, gran significado

6 : Scope of Environmental Component: Water for the environment Restoration & Floodplain Preparation Evaluation & Monitoring Environmental Workgroup – develop common understanding of restoration vision for next Minute Joint science process Assess ranges of water volumes Restoration goals and network of sites for connectivity

7 Water for the Environment: No division of Pulse and Base Flows – Environmental Water Learning from Minute 319: knowledge about hydrology and biological responses Preparation of the floodplain Optimal use of water: Favour efficiency and restoration outcomes

8 Restoration: Definitions Restoration Level Included Actions 1 Water 2 Water; removal of exotic vegetation; pole planting; seed disperal; site preparation 3 + … grading and leveling; irrigation system; planting; hydroseeding 4 + … excavation; water control structures

9 Zone 1: Binational Connected Corridor

10 Zona 2: Binational Restoration

11 Zone 3: Ecological Connectivity

12 Zone 4: Fully Functional Riparian System

13 Zone 5: Corridor to Connect Reach 4 and 7

14 Zone 7: Upper Estuary – Integral vision for the Delta

15 Environmental Component Collaboration of agencies, stakeholders, water users, ngo´s and universities Outstanding restoration achievements so far Great amount of knowledge and learning Improve implementation based on current experiences Achieve the next step in the joint restoration of the Colorado River Delta
