	Table of Contents and Excerpt, Reid, Rio Grande
		The Rio Pecos, which heads in the stunning Sangre de Cristos, may have been the first stream to force its way to the sea, followed by the Río Conchos, which is born in the Sierra Madres Occidental; flattened on maps, the Conchos's tributaries look like the root system of a large old tree.
		The Anasazi learned to make ceramic pottery, and they used timber for ladders and supports in their construction that evolved from cave dwellings to pueblos; they advanced from spears to bows and arrows and established that turkeys were fine to eat and, perhaps, easier to hunt than large mammals.
		At the terminus of Highway 4, Gilberto Rodriguez and I jostled from pavement to loose sand.

		he binational Rio Grande/Rio Bravo is the ribbon of life that delineates the longest international border between two countries at radically different levels of development.
		For the upper portion of the basin, Mexico is wholly dependent upon flows released by the upstream riparian, the United States.
		For the lower portion of the basin, the United States is largely dependent upon flows released down the Conchos by Mexico.

	Rio Rondo -- Beading
		Rio Rondo offers a selection of small beads that can be threaded onto lace (or embroidery thread) to produce a decorative silver ferruled look.
		Concho beads have a hole in the middle that allows you to thread them onto a stick pin or head pin.
		Conchos with two pegs on the back can be used similarly by bending the pegs so they cross over each other to form a "bar", and then they can be attached to browbands easily.

	Big Bend National Park - The Rio Grande (U.S. National Park Service)
		The Rio Grande begins its journey to the Gulf of Mexico from springs and snow melt high in the southern Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
		Because the Rio Grande serves as an international boundary, the park’s jurisdiction extends only to the middle of the deepest river channel; the rest of the river lies within the Republic of Mexico.
		On the Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River section downstream from the park’s boundary, the park administers only from the gradient boundary at the river’s edge on the United States’ side to the middle of the deepest channel.

	RGRWPG: H2owe, the Mexican Water Debt
		Spener said the water flow downstream of El Paso is very low until the river is fed by the Rio Conchos, flowing from Mexico about 100 river miles—100 miles of winding river as opposed to 100 miles in a straight line—downstream.
		She said releases from the reservoirs along the Rio Conchos in Mexico feed into the Rio Grande and ultimately flow into one of two international reservoirs further downstream: the Amistad and Falcon.
		The Rio Grande is the sole source of water for communities, businesses and farmers along the 1,200-mile border between Texas and Mexico.

		But Rio Conchos saw Goldsmith marshaling his skills at writing complex yet melodically vibrant action music, with several early highlights of his musical output contained within.
		The composer's title music is characteristically spare and folksy, belying the savage intensity of what is to follow, yet his main theme effortlessly forms the backbone for the score's violent set-pieces and provides often soothing commentary on the decency and nobility buried beneath the flinty surfaces of the film's reluctant heroes.
		The existing CD of Rio Conchos is a re-recording conducted by the composer for Intrada Records in 1988.

	Status of Irrigation Systems in the Rio Conchos Basin, Chihuahua
		Coinciding with the large release of irrigation water for districts in Tamaulipas and the increased use of irrigation in central Chihuahua, the amount of water reaching the Rio Grande from tributaries in northern Mexico is approaching historically low levels.
		With only about 1 percent of the river’s historical discharge available, the riparian environment along this portion of the Rio Grande is seriously threatened by loss of wildlife habitat and natural vegetation due to drought and increased competition from invasive plants.
		For the greater part, the discharge of the Rio Grande in the Big Bend region and the flow of the lower Rio Conchos are controlled by the release of water from the Luis L. Leon Dam in northern Chihuahua.

		Rio Conchos was in many ways a reworking of 1961's The Comancheros, but it lacked the buoyant presence of John Wayne and told a far darker and more nihilistic tale of social outcasts thrown together on a mission to find a hidden community of Apache gun-runners.
		Goldsmith had already scored several westerns before Rio Conchos, including the acclaimed contemporary western Lonely Are the Brave.
		The existing CD of Rio Conchos is a re-recording conducted by the composer for Intrada Records in 1988.

	Rio Grande Factsheet
		By applying a consistent flux-based approach in the Rio Grande Basin, the NASQAN program is generating the information needed to identify regional sources for a variety of constituents, including agricultural chemicals and trace elements, in the basin.
		Rio Grande at Foster Ranch near Langtry (2) is approximately 600 miles downstream of El Paso and 300 miles downstream of the confluence of the Rio Grande and Río Conchos.
		Historical data for riverbed sediments in the Rio Grande indicate increasing temporal trends in more trace elements in the reaches of the river near El Paso and Laredo than in other reaches, which could be related to human activities within the subbasins upstream of El Paso and Laredo (Lee and Wilson, 1997).

	Filmtracks: Rio Conchos (Jerry Goldsmith)
		Rio Conchos: (Jerry Goldsmith) With Westerns at their all-time high while Jerry Goldsmith was first stepping into the spotlight, Rio Conchos gave him the opportunity to utilize his fine skills in ethnic variations and Western themes.
		While Western scores were well admired for their bold themes, Goldsmith had a habit of composing scores for the genre that extended beyond those galloping, glorious themes.
		Rio Conchos consists mostly of ethnic interpretations representing both the Apache and the Spanish influences in the film.

		The presidio was abandoned in the fall of 1766 and moved to Julimes on the Río Conchos.
		Therefore, it may be concluded that San Francisco lay southwest of the Rio Grande and northwest of the Río Conchos near their junction.
		The presidio of San Francisco de los Conchos, albeit a considerable distance from La Junta, did aid in the protection of the area, allowing what missionary activity there was, until the establishment of a presidio at La Junta on the south side of the Rio Grande in 1760 and its reestablishment there in the 1770s.

	Big Bend National Park - The flow of the Rio Grande (U.S. National Park Service)
		The Rio Grande Compact Commission, a three state entity representing Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas, manages water flows of the Rio Grande from its headwaters in Colorado to Fort Quitman, Texas, which lies downstream of El Paso.
		The Rio Conchos is the largest of the six Mexican tributaries.
		Historically, this sediment would later be carried away by the large flows of the Rio Grande, and the river channel and floodplain would be large enough to handle the average high flows.

		Mexico, bound by a 1944 treaty to release water into the Rio Grande, has fallen into arrears, claiming that its reservoirs on the Rio Conchos are at a mere 18 percent capacity.
		Green says Mexican farmers, who depend on the Rio Conchos for irrigation, simply “don’t like to release water because after Presidio, it’s all recreational” until it exits the national park and pours into the Lower Rio Grande Valley farmlands.

	Trout and the Rio Conchos
		In February, 2005, a tiny native population of Conchos trout was located in the upper Conchos watershed.
		If Cope's trout were cutthroats, they probably were collected in the headwaters of the Rio Conchos -- the largest watershed in the state of Chihuahua, and a tributary to the Rio Grande.
		These streams, tributaries to the Rio Fuerte, and rios Sinaloa and Culiacan, are home to the native Mexican golden trout -- unknown to science at the time of Cope's description.

	Lower Rio Grande Ecosystem Initiative
		The Lower Rio Grande Ecosystem Initiative (LRGEI) was established by the Biological Resources Division of the USGS (formerly the National Biological Service) to address research and information needs pertinent to the biotic resources of the river and its adjacent terrestrial habitats.
		The Rio Grande is one of the longest rivers in the United States, beginning at an elevation of 3000 meters in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, flowing generally southward approximately 1200 km to the U.S.-Mexico border at El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua.
		The Rio Grande, and its major tributary the Rio Conchos, is considered to be one of North America's most endangered river systems due to extensive degradation in water quality and habitat from its headwaters in the San Juan Mountains of southern Colorado to its terminus at the Gulf of Mexico.

		The discussions brought out a variety of perspectives, but there was a surprising amount of agreement on steps that can be taken to protect and restore this vital river basin and the rest of the Río Bravo.
		Flows are now highly regulated, the river has to absorb polluted wastewater from cities and industry and the once lush riverside habitat has been cleared or dried up.
		And, of course, management of the Conchos is at the center of the current 1944 Treaty dispute between the United States and Mexico.

		After a sparkling plunge towards the east, the young Rio Grande bends south to water the fields of the San Luis Valley.
		The Conchos drains most of the state of Chihuahua, and river levels in Big Bend are more dependent on rainfall and reservoir storage behind several major dams on the Conchos, than they are from water of the main stem Rio Grande.
		The haunting beauty and isolation of the Rio Grande through the Big Bend country provide the last remaining place where the Rio can be appreciated as a truly wild river.

	State of the River
		The present environmental "depauperization" of the Rio Grande between Caballo Reservoir and the confluence of the Rio Conchos may be attributed to 125 years of water development, resulting in full appropriation of the resource (the condition that exists through out the upper basin) and consequent transformation of the river's hydraulic and ecological capacities.
		A relatively fixed amount of Rio Grande water is available to supply 200,000 acres of farms and ~1,000,000 human residents, future development and the river dependent environment in the subject region: This amount is 790,000 acre feet (79 kaf), the "firm yield" of the Rio Grande Project.
		This "water availability white paper" has been prepared to assist in assessing the feasibility of a restoration project for the "Forgotten River", a reach of the Rio Grande from 100 miles south of El Paso to 25 miles north of its confluence with the Rio Conchos (~140 miles).

	SoundtrackNet : Rio Conchos Soundtrack
		As most reviews, as well as this one, will note that this is the original film soundtrack, compared to Intrada's re-recording, of Jerry Goldsmith's classic western score to Rio Conchos.
		Those who are hi-fi aficionados would most likely want to compare these bonus stereo renditions to the Intrada re-recording to get a better idea of the differences in quality as well as a mature conducting style (twenty five years passed between original and re-recordings).
		This is not to say that Rio Conchos is entirely groundbreaking, but its lack of referential material is very low, helping to give Goldsmith credit to defining the style of the music used most typically in western themed movies.
