Summed Up

Additional Issues

Water Quality: high levels of arsenic and fluoride

Thirsty Neighbors: Cd. Juarez, Santa Teresa and El Paso

Data: Lacking, Inconsistent and Incompatible

Concerns about drought & climate change

Mimbres Basin http://river.nmsu.edu/website/pdnwc/index.htm

Many questions concerning the aquifers remain:– How extensive are the aquifers?– Which directions are the aquifers flowing?– How deep are the aquifers?– What is the quality of the aquifers at various

depths?– How fast are they declining in supply and

quality?– What is the long-term availability?– What is the relationship between surface

supplies and aquifer recharge?
