The Aguanaval River is an important river in northeastern Mexico. It flows through several states and plays a big role in the local environment and farming.
River's Journey
The Aguanaval River starts its journey in the southern part of the Sierra Madre Occidental mountains. These mountains are located in the state of Zacatecas.
From there, the river flows mostly north. It travels through Zacatecas and then into the state of Durango.
Where the River Ends
The Aguanaval River does not flow into an ocean. Instead, it ends in a special type of basin called an endorheic basin. This means the water stays within the land and does not reach the sea.
The river empties into an area known as the Bolsón de Mapimí. This basin is located in the state of Coahuila.
How People Use the River
The water from the Aguanaval River is very important for people living nearby. It is used a lot for irrigation. Irrigation is a way of supplying water to farm fields. This helps crops grow, especially in dry areas.
The river's water is mainly used for farming in a region called the Laguna Region. This area covers parts of both Durango and Coahuila states. Farmers depend on the river to water their plants and grow food.
