in 2005 hurricane katrina and rita became one of the most destructive disasters in history due to this issue?
storm surge
tornados
high winds
rainforest leeching
For the first question, in 1900, there was no Hoover dam (completed in 1936), Santa Ana river is not related to stealing water from Colorado River in this context, Glen Canyon dam was completed in 1963, and the statement about Colorado River being most powerful at the mouth is not relevant to the river - diversion situation in 1900. But the closest - related option among them is that Hoover dam stopped most water due to river diversion (even though it was not built in 1900). For the second question, Hurricane Katrina and Rita were extremely destructive mainly due to storm surges which caused massive flooding in New Orleans and surrounding areas.
