This presentation will explore the growing water, agriculture, energy, and infrastructure challenges facing the Rio Grande Valley. Joshua Moroles will discuss how the region’s heavy reliance on the Rio Grande River, ongoing drought conditions, cross-border impacts, flooding concerns, and aging infrastructure create multiple overlapping stressors on one interconnected system.

The discussion will also touch on how proposed large-scale developments, including data centers, fit into a region already balancing limited resources. This is a fact-based conversation about growth, responsibility, and planning for a sustainable future in South Texas.
