Description

According to treaties negotiated between Mexico and the United States, shared waterways must maintain specific water flow. Instead of losing water to evaporation and seepage, hoses may be used to carry the required water across the border. These hoses run through the Alamo Arroyo toward the Rio Grande near Ft. Hancock, east of El Paso and Ciudad Juarez.
