Rio Grande/Rio Bravo Water Resources Database (RGB-WRD)

Overview of the Project

The Rio Grande/Rio Bravo Water Resources Database (RGB-WRD) system is an on-line bibliographic database designed to provide biological, hydrological, and water quality literary sources. It is an attempt to compile historical bibliographic information for the Lower Rio Grande/Rio Bravo (i.e. El Paso to the Gulf of Mexico) that includes information related to stream bed sediments, biological tissue contaminants, stream community data (fish, benthic macroinvertebrates and algae), channel and riparian habitat characteristics, water column chemistry, and water column toxicity tests.

Cooperating Agencies

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Water Resources Division (WRD), and the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) developed this internet page and associated database system. Database information also was obtained from the USGS, Biological Resources Division, Columbia, Missouri, and the Texas General Land Office.
