Falcon Reservoir Water Shut Off Across Rio Grande Valley
U S water flow from Falcon Reservoir was cut at midnight with a week or more before impact in the Lower Rio Grande Valley. The State Board of Water Engineers ordered the cut due to depletion of U S water stored behind the dam. Local leaders plan municipal water releases and river patrols to protect urban use. Mexico’s response to lend water was not favorable. Crop losses were feared, especially in cotton, fall vegetables, and summer water needs for citrus.
