River, central Mexico. Rising in Hidalgo state and flowing northeast into the Gulf of Mexico below Tampico, it is about 100 mi (160 km) long and has considerable economic importance. It has served to drain Texcoco and other interior lakes via a system of tunnels and channels. Its waters are used to irrigate the fertile La Huasteca lowlands, and its lower course is navigable.
