The New River has been called the most polluted river in the country by a number of environmental organizations. It flows out of Mexicali, Mexico, laden with that city's sewage, then is charged with agricultural chemicals and wastes, as it becomes the primary drainage channel for the intensively industrialized agriculture of the Imperial Valley. The channelized terminus of the river is at the south end of the Salton Sea.
