Huge program urged for Rio Grande projects
President Roosevelt's interdepartmental committee urged a broad Rio Grande improvement program costing about 29 million dollars. It would include San Louis Valley drainage, two dams, Transmountain diversions, flood storage near the Colorado New Mexico line, Caballo Reservoir work, and irrigation reservoirs. The Trinity and Brazos plans were deemed secondary or uncertain in urgency. A Red River study favored local flood control with a 4 million dollar lower-reaches plan and erosion work funding.
