The Rio Grande is one of our longest rivers, its Texas section forming the border between the U.S and Mexico. Competing human claims for it are viewed through the eyes of two young women: a whitewater rafting guide in upstream New Mexico and a teenager downstream near El Paso. We learn that communitiesÂ’ demands on the Rio Grande take away so much of its water that southern Texas and Mexico often see only a dry, sandy riverbed.
