TLDR
In this paper, the authors mapped the spatial and temporal distribution of changes in aquifer storage associated with the 2014 Colorado River Delta pulse flow and found that surface water losses to infiltration were greatest around the Southerly international boundary, where a lowered groundwater level owing to nearby pumping created increased storage potential.About:

Leveraging environmental flows to reform water management policy: Lessons learned from the 2014 Colorado River Delta pulse flow
Eloise Kendy,Karl W. Flessa,Karen J. Schlatter,Carlos A. de la Parra,Osvel M. Hinojosa Huerta,Yamilett Carrillo-Guerrero,Enrique Guillen +6 more
TL;DR: The success of such a politically, operationally, and scientifically complex endeavor in the severely over-allocated Colorado River Basin bodes well for the future of environmental flows in its delta and in other water-stressed settings, worldwide.

Evapotranspiration by remote sensing: An analysis of the Colorado River Delta before and after the Minute 319 pulse flow to Mexico
Christopher J. Jarchow,Pamela L. Nagler,Edward P. Glenn,Jorge Ramírez-Hernández,J. Eliana Rodríguez-Burgueño +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the MODIS Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) to estimate long term (2000-2014) and short term (pre- and post-pulse; 2013 and 2014) evapotranspiration (ET; used herein as an indicator of plant health) of the delta's riparian corridor.

Hydrogeological Properties Estimation from Groundwater Level Natural Fluctuations Analysis as a Low-Cost Tool for the Mexicali Valley Aquifer
TL;DR: In this paper, the water level response for the effects of barometric pressure and earth tide in the Mexicali aquifer has been analyzed for the purpose of estimating the porosity, specific storage, transmissivity, and compressibility of the alluvial aquifer.
