But the mystery of the Rio Grande River is even greater than that!
How can the Rio Grande River be 5 feet deep near its headwaters in Creede CO, 5 feet deep near its mouth in Brownsville TX and yet barely 5 inches deep in the middle of its course in Albuquerque NM?
The Universe, it's crazy!
Probably flowing into canals for irrigation along the way. Must be a lot of them in the ABQ area.
