Water woes at state parks in Valley
HARLINGEN, Texas (AP) - Water woes partly blamed on this summer's Hurricane Alex have left two state parks in south Texas with different problems.
Experts say that Estero Llano Grande State Park in Weslaco has too much water.
The problem at Resaca de la Palma State Park in Brownsville, about 30 miles away, is a lack of water.
National Resource Specialist Kyle O'Haver estimates about a quarter of Estero Llano Grande park has been flooded and is inaccessible to visitors. Alex made landfall in northern Mexico on June 30, soaking parts of the Valley in the process.
Pablo de Yturbe, manager at Resaca de la Palma, says part of a culvert that transverses a tram road has collapsed and repairs are needed. The problem was detected in late 2009.
