Rio Grande
|
|
|
The Rio Grande, the fifth longest river of North America and the 20th longest in the world, forms the entire border between the U.S. state of Texas and Mexico. It is approximately 3,000 km long, rising in the San Juan Mts. and flowing south eventually emptying into the Gulf of Mexico. The Rio Grande is an important source of internationally regulated irrigation. Today, dams on the Rio Grande are used for irrigation, flood control, and regulation of the river flow. Shifts in the river's channel have led to border disputes between the United States and Mexico. Parts of its bed have been stabilized by canalization, and an international border commission mediates disputes.
