Rio Grande Straitening Plan Divides Costs Between US and Mexico
The International Boundary Commission releases its report on straightening the Rio Grande between El Paso Texas and Fort Quitman Mexico. It proposes US paying a majority share of costs and Mexico the rest, with land exchanges and irrigation to make 1400 hectares cultivable. The project would shorten the river from 154 miles to about 38 miles and protect both cities from flooding. Recommendations await study by Washington and Mexico City before implementation.
