The Rio Grande International Study Center

Hosted by the Rio Grande-Rio Bravo Watershed Alliance

RISC’s overarching goal is to act as change agents and stewards for the preservation and restoration of the environment of the Rio Grande Basin. It pursues these goals through independent research, community education, support for the passage of local ordinances that protect environmental and ecological resources, monitoring water quality and quantity, and the formation of alliances with similarly minded organizations on both sides of the Rio Grande. RGISC takes as its area of interest the entire Rio Grande watershed, which includes portions of Texas, New Mexico and Colorado, as well as the five Mexican States of Tamaulipas, Nuevo León, Coahuila, Chihuahua and Durango.
