El Río Chuviscar

me da flojera traducir el post :P y como ya lo puse el post en inglés se friegan :B

In the middle of Chihuahua city there's a river, the city began in there 'cause is in the middle of the desert and Spanish soldiers and miners needed a river.
This river is the Chuviscar River, and as the city grew, the river got canalized, and the sides of the river became streets, this streets go from west to east of the city.



Now, because it hasn't rained almost al year the river is dry. Today I stood in one of the bridges that crosses the river bed to watch and take some pics I'm in the west side of town. This is in the eastside of the bridge, and the riverbed, it has concrete or something and garbage because people in here don't care 'bout the enviroment much:



And this is the west side of the bridge, in this side they didn't use concrete so the trees have grown in here because is the only way they could survive without no-one taking care of them, because, as I said we're in the desert:



And when it actually rains in here rains a lot so the canal usually floods and sometimes water just reach up to the street and, well as we here in chihuahua aren't precisely used to it, a number of people has died in there trying to get to the other side of the city, because the water will take the car with it, this is the south side of the riverbed, and water can go up to here when it rains
