The "Trasvase Tajo-Segura". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Valley#Agriculture The agriculture section is a quick tour of growing crops in a place where it never rains. The whole article might lead to some misconceptions. Technically the Imperial Valley borders on the Colorado River but it's not like the river runs through the valley. Unless it has vastly improved since the last time I was there I don't think the Salton Sea is much of a tourist destination. It was an accident to begin with. Due to the farm run off the fish and birds pretty much died. Then with better irrigation techniques it started to dry up and the resorts were a long way from water. Then the dust storms started with all the toxic stuff that killed the fish.
