About the navajo river
The Navajo River is a tributary of the San Juan River, located in the southwestern region of the United States. The river runs approximately 100 miles through southern Colorado and northern New Mexico. Historically, the Navajo people utilized the river as a source of water for crops and livestock. Today, the river is primarily used for recreation, including fishing and camping. The river is dammed in several places, including the Navajo Dam, which was built in the 1960s for flood control and hydropower generation. The reservoir created by the dam, Navajo Lake, is a popular spot for boating and fishing. The river's hydrology is influenced by snowmelt, rainfall, and irrigation runoff, and it provides water for agricultural use in the region.
