My Family has property on Lake Amistad, which was once the biggest lake in TX on the Rio Grande. For the last 10 years it has been drained by Mexico to where it is easily crossable on canoes and rafts.
Which I assume is why we've seen tatted latino dudes leading squads of kids and random packs of wandering Africans asking for rides to the nearest town over the last 5-10 years or so.
Now they are claiming the dam is damaged and is being fixed, but for at least 9 years or so we were told Mexico was deaining the water "for its crops."
This is a real issue that goes deeper than TX farm irrigation.

I’m glad you weighed in to share your experience. Draining the lakes and rivers serve multiple purposes including enabling crossing into the US.
