PROJECTS
The major objective of the SAWC Research Project is the creation of a basin-wide perspective for integrated management and sustainable use of the water resources of the Rio Grande throughout its drainage basin.
A comprehensive management program for this important transboundary water system considers how elements, such as the use of groundwater and surface water resources for agriculture and other purposes, land use and vegetative cover throughout the drainage basin, and the biological, chemical and hydrological aspects of the river itself, are linked and interacting.
