The Nueces River is a river in South Texas that rises from aquifers in Real and Edwards counties, flows generally south and east across the Edwards Plateau and coastal plain, and empties into Nueces Bay and Corpus Christi Bay on the Gulf of Mexico at Corpus Christi. Its major tributaries include the Frio and Atascosa rivers, which join it near Three Rivers in Live Oak County, and its watershed contains major impoundments such as Lake Corpus Christi and Choke Canyon Reservoir. The Nueces River Basin supplies water for municipal, industrial, mining, power generation, and recreational uses in the Coastal Bend region. Early Spanish explorers called it the Río de las Nueces, or "river of nuts," in reference to the pecan trees growing along its banks.
