About the mora river
The Mora River is a tributary of the Rio Grande in northern New Mexico, spanning 97 miles. The river has a rich history, particularly for the Mora valley's Native American and Hispanic communities. The hydrology of the Mora River has been affected by human activities, such as logging and grazing, leading to soil erosion and altered stream channels. The river is home to several dams and reservoirs, including the Storrie Project, which serves as a source of water for irrigation and municipal use. Recreational activities such as fishing and kayaking are popular along the Mora River, with anglers targeting trout and other species. The river also supports agriculture, particularly in the Mora valley, where crops like alfalfa, beans, and corn are grown.
