The Rio Grande River

My Water Post For Today.

I mentioned that our train crossed the Rio Grande, just outside of El Paso, Texas.

Mostly, the river is pretty small, but this spot is wide.

What I found out in my research, is that there is a dam right in that area called the American Diversion Dam.

The dam allows Mexico to receive their percentage of water, from the Rio Grande. The US keeps the remainder.

I enjoyed seeing a river as a river, instead of a concrete canal.

I hope you enjoy.
