Rio Grande Compact Commission

The Rio Grande Compact Commission apportions the water of the Rio Grande River among Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas. The compact was signed in 1938, though a preliminary compact was in effect from 1929. It created a reservoir and a system of gauges. The commission consists of the state engineers of Colorado and New Mexico, a Texas representative appointed by the governor, and a nonvoting member appointed by the U.S. president.
