Water replenishes dry Rio Grande bed in New Mexico
The sky is reflected in an irrigation canal next to agricultural fields after water was released from Elephant Butte Dam in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, as seen from Arrey, New Mexico, U.S. May 15, 2023. After water releases at the dam, the Rio Grande in southern New Mexico fills back up for a few months, allowing for crop irrigation and recreational activities until it dries again. REUTERS/Paul Ratje
