The Border
Near Las Cruces, NM.
.
The river at El Paso, TX; near Santa Teresa, NM and the Mexican Border. The mountains on the background are in Mexico, the Juarez Sierra.

This is as far as we could go on this side of the border, that's the American dam which diverts the river water for irrigation down El Paso's lower valley. The border is just at the foot of the hill behind the dam.
.
The Mexican dam. It diverts the river water also for irrigation purposes to the Juarez Valley.

After that, this is what's left of the river, and only some sewer and rain water, when it rains; prevents it from going bone dry.
