The Rio Grande river flows through the South Texas Plains ecoregion of Texas. The river is a major source of water for cities and farms in the area. Sometimes, so much of the Rio Grande's water is used that the river does not reach the Gulf of Mexico. How does the loss of river water affect ocean plants near the mouth of the river?
