  Pecos River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pecos River rises near Santa Fe, New Mexico, United States, and flows for 926 miles (1,480 km) through the eastern portion of that state and neighboring Texas before it empties into the Rio Grande near Del Rio.
The river is dammed at Avalon and McMillan to help irrigate about 25,000 acres (101 km²) as part of the Carlsbad reclamation project (established in 1906).
New Mexico and Texas disputed water rights to the river until the federal government settled the dispute in 1949.
