“The Politics of Place”: Domestic and Diplomatic Priorities of the Colorado River SalinityControl Act (1974)This article analyzes the Colorado River Salinity Control Act (1974) from international,regional (Colorado River Basin), and local (Yuma County) perspectives. While the Nixonadministration simply wanted appropriations to build a desalination plant near Yuma,Arizona, in order to respond to Mexican complaints of saline river water south of theborder, regional (U.S.) leaders used the legislation to obtain additional salinity controlmeasures that would ostensibly conserve the Colorado River Basin’s shrinking watersupply. The article also examines the efforts of farmers, municipal leaders, and Quechan natives in Yuma County to shape the legislation to their advantage.Keywords: Environmental politics, Colorado River Delta, Yuma County, U.S.-MexicanRelations, Quechan Indians, desalination

Hydrothermal Mineral

AbstractThe Cerro Prieto geothermal system provides a unique opportunity for the detailed study of calc-silicate mineral transitions between the diagenetic clay-carbonate and greenschist facies within the terrigenous sediments of the Colorado River delta. In this system, progressive devolatization reactions within carbonate-cemented, quartzofeldspathic sediment have produced a distinct hydrothermal mineral zonation at temperatures between 200–370°C and fluid pressures below 0.3 kbar. Descriptive and compositional data are presented for these minerals which include wairakite, epidote, prehnite, actinolite, clinopyroxene, garnet, sphene, biotite, microcline, and calcite. Partitioning of octahedral Fe, Mg, and Al between coexisting authigenic silicates is comparable with data from higher temperature metamorphic rocks and demonstrates an approach to local equilibrium within this system. Calculated fugacities of oxygen at temperatures above 300°C are (with rare exception) more reducing than that defined by the quartz-fayalite-magnetite buffer, a result consistent with the scarcity of hematite and grandite and the ubiquitous presence of organic material in Cerro Prieto sandstones.
