Is it possible to redirect a portion of the Rio for water purposes in the areas that a fence would be complicated? I’m certainly no expert on the Rio, but other rivers have been diverted in our Country for years, with great success. Just an idea......

Divert this.

Since the international border runs down the middle of the river, diverting the river changes the international border. That would take some serious cooperation between us and Mexico. Mexico would raise objections to any negative consequences to their border towns. Technically, yes we could divert all or portions of the river, but then the enviro-whackos get involved and grind progress to a halt. It’d be years before any meaningful progress was made.

Sort of impractical but possible.
