Rio Grande River

The Rio Grande River is a major waterway in North America that flows for about 1,900 miles from Colorado through New Mexico and Texas, forming a large part of the U.S.-Mexico border. It provides vital water resources for agriculture, industry, and communities along its course. The river originates in the Colorado Rockies and drains into the Gulf of Mexico. It is an important natural and cultural feature, supporting diverse ecosystems and serving as a symbol of international cooperation and regional identity.
