The low level of the Rio Grande River at Zapata exposes green, grassy river banks, rocks, tires and other debris that would normally be underwater. Having enough water is a concern for Zapata as the town only has a day and a half worth of emergency water supplies. Drought, heat and the lack of water payments from Mexico have dropped the water level very low.
