About the gallinas river
The Gallinas River is a 150-mile-long tributary of the Pecos River in the U.S. state of New Mexico. The river has a long history of use by Native American tribes and Spanish colonizers. The river flows through arid and semi-arid regions of New Mexico, making it an important source of irrigation for agriculture. The river is also used for recreational activities such as fishing and boating. The Gallinas River is dammed at several locations, including the Storrie Lake Dam and the El Porvenir Dam, which supply water to nearby communities and farms. Despite its importance as a water source, the Gallinas River has experienced pollution and habitat degradation due to human activities such as mining and urban development.
