Flood Justice in the US-Mexico Borderlands: Falcon Dam/Presa Falcón (En Español))

In episode 3 of the Flood Justice en las Fronteras podcast doctoral candidate Lucas Belury interviews Dr. Caroline Tracey, a geographer, journalist, and author of the forthcoming book Salt Lakes (W.W. Norton, 2026). In this episode we discuss the politics of the 1954 Falcon Dam (Presa Falcón) in the Rio Grande/Río Bravo river. This dam provided irrigation water and hydro-electricity to both Texas and Tamaulipas, yet flooded and displaced thousands of border residents.
