	Middle Rio Grande Valley (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The Rio Grande is the dominant river system in New Mexico in terms of the area of its watershed, or the area of land from which water drains into the river.
		The valley is actually a series of basins, each slightly lower in elevation as you move south (thus to call it a single rift is not quite correct, as that implies a single trough, but it is typically referred to this way).
		The term "valley" is thus also not technically correct, because a valley is carved by a river that cuts through the bedrock rather than taking advantage of a trough that was already there, but this is another term that is accepted as correct and so will be used here.

	The Lower Rio Grande Valley Biological Profile
		The Lower Rio Grande Valley (LRGV) is comprised of the four Texas counties situated within this delta: Cameron, Hidalgo, Starr, and Willacy.
		Approximately 99% of the riparian vegetation on the U.S. side of the Rio Grande has been cleared, and the corresponding habitat on the Mexican side of the river is being cut at an accelerated rate.
		Because flood control structures on the Rio Grande have eliminated the annual floods that shaped the LRGV’s unique flood plain forests, what little forest remains is gradually evolving into a drier, less diverse woodland.
