Rio Grande

The Rio Grande is a major river in North America that flows roughly 1,900 miles from Colorado through New Mexico and Texas, forming a significant part of the border between the United States and Mexico. It provides essential water resources for agriculture, industry, and communities along its course. The river's basin supports diverse ecosystems and wildlife, but it faces environmental challenges from overuse, pollution, and climate change. As a key geographical feature, the Rio Grande plays a vital role in regional water management, international relations, and ecological health.
