Resacas.-Cameron-Hidalgo-Willacy Counties; Rio Grande; these reservoirs are pri-
marily for storage of water during periods of normal or above-normal flow in the
river for use when the river's current is low. Some of these are old loops and bends in
the river that have been isolated by the river changing itschannel. They are known by
the Spanish name as resacas. Also a number of reservoirs have been constructed and
connected with the main channel of the river by ditches through which the reservoirs
are filled either by gravity flow or by pumping: This is reserve irrigation water for
use during periods of low flow in the river channel. Most of these reservoirs are near
the main channel of the river, but some of them are 20 or 25 miles distant. .........
