Devised and built jointly by the United States and Mexico pursuant to the Water Treaty of 1944, the International Falcon Dam and Reservoir project was put in place to provide flood control, water conservation and hydroelectric power to communities on both sides of the lower Rio Grande. But in doing so, almost 115,000 acres of the Texas and Tamaulipas landscape were submerged. The original Texas communities of Zapata, Falcon and Lopeño went under as well as much of the beautiful Spanish colonial town now called Old Guerrero.
