Wanted to see what the latest Google driveby of the Rio Grande looked like. My take: You know its bad, when they start considering not building bridges anymore.

I think he's late to the game talking about a drought that doesn't look like a drought anymore

Elephant Butte is at about 500 thousand acre feet, which means the north is fine, but they will not release the water now that they have already started water recycling. I can imagine it has to be at least at 50% or higher. Thing is: if you happen to be the one in the south drinking the recycled water, should you not have access to even a small excess?

The man who controls the tap literally has all the say. While El Paso drinks its recycled water, People in Ciudad Juárez Mexico - get no water.

[ZenOps]

To put things into perspective, the Rio Grande at that point leads into El Paso (700,000 population) and Cuidad (1.4 million population)

Water beyond that has to be trucked in, as of course there is no water pipeline.

Side note: To all the Hong Kong protestors - would not last a week in Cuidad, or a month in El Paso.
