Apparently the #RioGrande has never been this low for this long in #ABQ.
And by "this low" I mean "gone."
Time to stop watering the fucking golf courses.

Excerpt: "Laiken Jordahl, an advocate with the Center for Biological Diversity and a former wilderness fellow for the National Park, said the pause came after a weekend of “irreversible” damage to parts of the desert ecosystem, particularly around Mariscal Mountain.

#FlashFlood Emergency Is Issued in #Texas After Days of Pounding Rain
Roads were turning to rivers on Wednesday as emergency officials in towns around #SanAntonio raced to rescue people who had been stranded.
A tornado was spotted in San Antonio, and #Uvalde and Harris counties experienced flooding as heavy rain fell on Tuesday and Wednesday
By Judson Jones and Christine Hauser
July 15, 2026"Another day of pounding rain across Texas has led to flash flood warnings, perilous river levels and a scramble of evacuations as emergency responders rushed to rescue people from quickly rising waters.
"In the city of #UvaldeTX, the seat of Uvalde County, Commissioner Roy Coachman said that as of 9 a.m. local time on Wednesday there were 25 rescues throughout the county as river levels continue to rise.
" 'First responders are actively rescuing in the northern part of Uvalde County,' he told a news conference.
"The Uvalde Police Department said a dam in the northern part of the county was still intact, but the river gauge upstream of the #LeonaRiver, above Uvalde, is registering a 20-foot wall of water. 'It is expected to rise another 15 feet,' the police said.
" 'If you live along the Leona River, we ask that you get to higher ground,' the police said.
"In #BoerneTX, north of San Antonio, the National Weather Service declared a flood emergency on Wednesday and said up to 12 inches of rain had fallen in the Hill Country city, with more on the way.
"Chris Shadrock, Boerne’s communications director, said water had enveloped the city’s Main Street. High water rescues were taking place in the city, which has a population of 12,314.
" 'This is a life threatening weather event,' he said on the city’s social media page. 'We are seeing flood conditions that we have not seen since 2015.'
"The American Red Cross said on Wednesday that there had been dozens of water rescues in southern parts of Texas, where heavy rain had already inundated populated areas with up to 16 inches of rain. The precipitation was expected to last through Friday,
"The #Pecos, #RioGrande, #Nueces, #Frio, #Medina and San Antonio rivers could all flood, it said. The areas at greatest risk include all or parts of Medina, Frio, Uvalde, Kinney, #Maverick, #Zavala, #ValVerde, Edwards, Real and #Bandera counties, it said."

Forgotten Keepers of the #RioGrandeDelta
An industrial buildout on the southern tip of Texas is erasing the last traces of an ancient world that still hasn’t died.
by Dylan Baddour
May 13, 2024"This society has been trying to get rid of #Mancias’ people for 500 years. It couldn’t kill them all, so it’s destroying the evidence that they ever existed. That’s what Mancias sees as 100-ton bulldozers flatten the hills his #ancestors camped on, churn up their bones, and casually crush them into rubble, removing these last traces of their world.
" 'They almost annihilated us, and that #genocide continues,' Mancias said. 'To destroy the #environment you have to destroy the people who protect it.'
"He faces a formidable foe here at the last frontier for oil and gas on the Gulf Coast of Texas. Every other major inlet from the Mississippi River west through Port Arthur, Houston, Freeport, Lavaca Bay, and Corpus Christi is already ringed with #refineries, #ChemicalPlants, and terminals.
"But at the farthest tip of #Texas, the #RioGrande meets the Gulf between #WildlifeRefuges, a #StatePark, and a majestic #wilderness that still shelters endangered and little-known #wildlife.
"This is where Houston-based developer #NextDecade has begun constructing an $18 billion #MegaProject, which it called the 'largest greenfield energy project [financed] in U.S. history' when it announced in 2023 that it had secured investors to proceed.
"Named #RioGrandeLNG, the 750-acre facility will eventually pipe in up to 27 million tons per year of gas from #fracked wells in the #PermianBasin, supercool it to negative 260 degrees fahrenheit, and load it onto #TankerShips for sale overseas as liquefied natural gas (#LNG). It’s part of an explosion of lookalike projects that quickly made the United States the world’s top exporter of liquefied gas and drove soaring gas production at home.
"On an adjacent tract, another project called Texas LNG intends to build atop a site called #GarciaPasture—an ancient village ground where people lived seasonally for almost 800 years. The World Monument Fund calls it 'one of America’s premier #archaeological sites.' That project has its permits and awaits investor commitments before breaking ground.
"And about 5 miles away, #SpaceX continues to expand its #Starbase complex, where it manufactures and launches the most powerful #rockets in the world (which occasionally explode and fall to earth).
"Mancias fears this is just the beginning.
" 'All of this will be gone,' he said, driving his pickup truck down a highway through the marshes. 'They’re going to destroy all of this.' "
