“…19). Under current low-flow conditions, and aside from limited rainwater runoff, little freshwater now reaches the lower Rio Grande, resulting in a negative freshwater inflow into the Lower Laguna Madre of -93 × 10 6 cubic meters per year (Tolan, 2013) and upstream advancement of estuarine conditions. The delta was formerly shallow water of the southern Lower Laguna Madre in Texas and the northern Laguna Madre de Tamaulipas in Mexico, but it is now a 1,550-km 2 bulge of "meander streams, oxbow lakes (resacas), playa lakes, wetlands, mudflats, lomas, and clay dunes" that effectively separates the two international lagoons (Tunnell, 2002b, p. 31).…”

AbstractThe Lower Rio Grande Valley (LRGV) of southern Texas is located on the United States-Mexico borderland and represents a 240-kilometer (150-mile) linear stretch that ends at the Gulf of Mexico. The LRGV represents a unique transition between temperate and tropical conditions and,
