Las Cruces, NM – The United States section of the International Boundary and Water Commission met Thursday in El Paso, Texas to discuss plans to improve Dona Ana County's levee system.

As KRWG's Marco Grajeda reports, the levee project's head engineer says what the commission needs now is funding.
