Go with the flow

Eva Mahan, left, of Kansas City, Mo., and her mother, Martha Rains, of Tucson, Ariz., watch the Rio Grande flow southwest Monday from La Llorona Park. The riverbed has slowly been filling up bank-to-bank as irrigation water is allocated from Elephant Butte Lake. "My father was a farmer (in Roswell) and I appreciate the irrigation needs of a desert climate," Rains said.
