Three states make up its complete route start to finish. Where does it get it's water: other rivers, streams, snow, farms, and water shed areas. Have you heard about the Rio Grande Gorge? This river has plenty of dams and even some canals built to disperse water. The Rio Grande River had farms for centuries along it whole length. Is this river of one country? Name all the towns that have grown up along its banks. The Rio Grande Valley gets what is left before it inters the Guld of Mexico. Imagine how many fish, animals, and birds let alone people who rely on its life-giving water for survival. Think about the tales the water of the Rio Grande River could tell. Come hear the river water talk through educator Joe Krause's eyes and ears of today with current needs, demands, and abuses put on our Rio Grande River.
