The Rio Grande-Rio Bravo River is the second longest river in the US and is a critical drinking water source for more than 13 million people. It flows south from the snowcapped mountains of Colorado to the New Mexico desert and forms the western border between Texas and Mexico. The multi-national, multi-state, ecologically diverse nature of this river makes management of the resource a complex task, especially in the context of more frequent droughts, changes in land use patterns, and increasing water use needs. To discuss these and other critical issues throughout the basin, the South Central Climate Science Center participated in a forum planned by the Desert Landscape Conservation Cooperative and other partners....
The Rio Grande/Bravo (RGB) is a basin full of extreme climate conditions. The overall goal of this study was the estimation of climate variability on the southern branch of the RGB basin (from Presidio Texas to the outlet of the river in the Gulf of Mexico) and the characterization of the periods of drought and water abundance for 110 years [1900 – 2010]. This study focused on the natural streamflow variability as a proxy for climate variability, and for extreme drought and flood events. Specifically, on the estimation of daily natural water availability for the RGB along the border, comparing the long-term water availability with drought periods. This research aimed to help in the understanding of extreme climatic...

The Rio Grande/Bravo is an arid river basin shared by the United States and Mexico, the fifth-longest river in North America, and home to more than 10.4 million people. By crossing landscapes and political boundaries, the Rio Grande/Bravo brings together cultures, societies, ecosystems, and economies, thereby forming a complex social-ecological system. The Rio Grande/Bravo supplies water for the human activities that take place within its territory. While there have been efforts to implement environmental flows (flows necessary to sustain riparian and aquatic ecosystems and human activities), a systematic and whole-basin analysis of these efforts that conceptualizes the Rio Grande/Bravo as a single, complex social-ecological...
