Also, the Rio Grande drains 40,000 gallons of water into Texas? One of the things I wondered was, does the Rio Grande freeze over in the winter? I found out that it doesn't freeze over completely.

It turns out that humans do/did use the Rio Grande in another way, as a travel corridor.In 1,000 years, will the Rio Grande change a lot or a little? The answer I came up with was a lot.

A very important person involved with the Rio Grande is Juan de Onate. He was the first to call it the Rio Grande, which is what most of us Americans know it as today. It was probably the most popular when people were really into mining. It was popular because they found precious metals near the river, minerals in the river, and was used for irrigation. By finding precious metals near the river, they started mining for other minerals. Also, in the 1980's, the population along it's banks exieded 5,000,000.
