The rainy season in the Rio Grande Valley begins in a few weeks and lasts throughout the summer months.
The high-powered pumps are strategically placed near the region's large floodway, east of Weslaco.
During storm events, rain water in ditches is pumped from the drainage canals into the floodway.
