golf tournament in Scotland.
Rio Grande Shrinks
To Dampened Trickle
LAREDO—bP)—The river Amer
icans call the Bio Grande and Mex
icans the Rio Bravo nowadays is
neither big nor fierce.
Boundary commission records
show the Rio Grande country is in
the grip of the greatest drought
in its recorded history. It began
in March, 1943, and year after
year rainfall deficiencies have ac-
clmulated.
Drought and man-made dams
have reduced the flow of the once-
mighty Rio Grande.
The river’s flow began dropping
back in 1915 with construction of
the Elephant Butte dam in New
Mexico and continued as others
were built—the Boquilla reservoir
on the Rio Gonchos, Don Martin on
the Rio Salado, Marte Gomez on
the San Juan; a dam on the Devil’s
River above Del Rio, and others.
During recent years as soil con
servation practices were launched
in Texas, thousands of small dams
and tanks were built on creeks and
arroyos.
One county downstream from
Laredo boasts one tank for every
square mile. Although this county
doesn’t take a great amount of
water from the river for irriga
tion, it still uses more than it con
tributes.
The solution ? Rain—and dams
on the river itself to store flood-
waters for release in lean years.
Nov/ almost finished 75. miles
downstream from Laredo is the
huge, five-mile-long Falcon dam,
one of three subh dams authorized
by the 1944 water treaty between
the United States and Mexico.
Falcon will project the Lower
Valley in years to come—but it
won’t help upstream points.
Laredo, Del Rio and Eagle Pass
have joined forces to work for so-
called Middle Dam.
The three cities have formed the
Central Rio Grande Water Stor
age Committee and begun enlist
ing the aid of Texas senators and
representatives.
As A. E. Guapardo, Laredo,
chairman of the committee, put it:
“A year ago we didn’t think the
Rio Grande could go dry at Laredo.
Believe me, it can happen at Eag
le Pass next year and at Del Rio
the year after . The situation is
more than an emergency^ i-t ap
proaches a calamity.”
