Description
The Conchos is the main river in
Chihuahua State and the Rio Grande's main Mexican tributary. It has several reservoirs that make use of its water for agricultural and hydropower uses.
The Conchos rises in the
Sierra Madre Occidental near
Bocoyna, Chihuahua, where it heads east and receives several tributaries along the way. At
Zaragoza, Chihuahua, it's stopped at the Presa de la Boquilla dam, the largest in Chihuahua forming
Toronto Lake. It then heads east again forming Colina Lake and then passes through
Camargo, Chihuahua, the main agricultural center in the region, where it receives the Florido as a tributary.
From there the Conchos heads north, receiving the San Pedro near
Delicias, Chihuahua, entering the Chihuahua Desert and cutting a path through it, before turning to the northeast. At
Aldama, Chihuahua it's dammed by the Presa El Granero, then cuts through a canyon called the Peguis Canyon, before forming a last dam (Toribio Ortega) near Ojinaga. At Ojinaga it joins the Rio Bravo(Grande).
