Sites Chosen For Rio Grande Dams
EL PASO, Texas, July 21. (U.P.)-
Two tentative sites for storage dams to equalize and conserve the lower Rio Grande flow have been selected by W. F. Anderson and A. M. Amor, consulting engineers of the international boundary commission.
The engineers selected a place at El Jardin, between Laredo and Del Rio, as one of the sites for a storage dam with the capacity of 1,500,000 acre-feet.
The other site is at the lower end of the San Juan river in Mexico.
The engineers are making a survey on possibilities of equalizing and conserving the flow so that lower Rio Grande residents will not experience a drought one month and a flood the next.
