Dropping water levels blamed for Brownsville resaca fish kill
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Dozens of dead fish have been found in a Brownsville resaca near California Road, prompting a response from Texas Parks and Wildlife. Officials confirmed there is no public health risk, noting that fish kills are common in summer when water levels drop. Low oxygen levels can lead to fish deaths as they become stranded. Local residents have observed declining water levels over the weeks, attributed to factors like agricultural irrigation and illegal water pumping. The Brownsville Irrigation District is currently pumping additional water into the system. Property owners are responsible for removing the dead fish, and the public is encouraged to report fish kills.
