In 2013, BPUB began the Resaca Restoration Program to improve water circulation, control flood conditions, enhance water quality and support ecological improvements. Resacas are old tributaries of the Rio Grande river, which are now used to store and transport water around Brownsville. Resacas also provide habitat for wildlife and the Montezuma Cypress tree, not to be confused with the Bald Cypress.
