board OF water engineers. as saying
that work has been started on two
irrigation projects above the Valley
which viii irrigate approximately 90
600 acres.
One OF these is the Maverick Irri-
cation district, near Eagle Pass,
which has voted bonds in the sum
of $~i.5O0.000 for the purpose Of put
ting IN an irrigation system 10 sup
ply $4,000 acres.
viii Hurt Valley
The other is the Starr County Dis
trict. which has voted 81. 500, 900 in
bonds to irrigate approximately 3d.
600 acres.
MIR. Robertson estimated that these
two tracts would take approximately
one-fourth Of the low flow Of water
at Penitas, which IS about 1000 sec
ond feet. out Of the Rio Graude.
leaving an insufficient quantity for
the Valley.
During the past W. summers the
river AZ low tide has carried an
amount Of water insufficient to meet
the needs Of all sections OF the Val
ley. In 1927 the river ceased to flow
below Brownsville. and in 1928 il
ceased to flow below the San Benito
pumping plant. the FL Jardin district
being without water for several days.
With an additional 500 second feet
being taken out by the two contem-
plated projects at Eagle Pass and
Rio Grande City. the flow at Peni-
tas. the entrance TO the Valley.
would be reduced to 1900. and the
Valley would experience a still great
er shortage.
The low flows Of the Rio Grande
can supply no more water than is
demanded by existing irrigated lands.
and il is impractieable TO serve any
more lands without providing water
storage reservoirs that may be drawn
upo min time Of such low flows" Mr..
Robertson said.
Board Locks Power
Il do not believe the state board
Of water engineers has the power 10
help US in this case. They have no
jurisdiction over the normal or low
flow of the Rio Grande, but only over
surplus waters. Still when more and
more i~ri cation projects are permit
ted, il becomes evident that the VAL
ley will not have enough water 10
supply its needs during periods of
low flow Of the river. and some ae-
ton must be taken.
Some persons have indicated that
probably 1t viii be necessary TO APP
peal TO the courts for protection in
this matter, and We propose to take
this up at the meeting to be held
soon, and take whatever steps are
considered advisable at that time"
Valley people will claim in court
a right to the uncomfortable flow Of
the Rio Grande on the basis Of prior
beneficial usage, and will show that
this uncontrolled flow is just suffi-
cient to meet the needs or the Valley.
