Detroit engineer George Y Wisner warned at the Detroit Engineering Society meeting on September 22 that poor irrigation planning will force the Colorado River to abandon its bed and flood the Imperial Valley within twenty years. The Geological Survey supports concern, noting the river has diverted into a canal and threatens towns like Brawley and Imperial, with railroad tracks at risk.
