Dec 3: Front Page Says Water Plentiful!!

CURRENT SOURCES ARE SET FOR DECADES. BUT THEN WHAT? This is the lead line for an irresponsible story about water. The city is about to start pumping Rio Grande water -- the San Juan/Chama project which cost hundreds of millions of dollars -- into its sparkling new purificatin plact and huge new pipelines.

Why is ABQ doing this? Because we are pumping our aquifer dry; it is falling 8 feet/yr. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the SJC water will only meet ABQ's needs AT ITS CURRENT SIZE, so we are obviously going to have to start pumping again soon to support our rapid rate of growth.

"Ahhh, but this will give the aquifer time to recharge," say the developers.

These are the same developers who used to promise us that there was an endless, huge lake of water beneath ABQ.

Question: what happens to SJC if we have a few years of drought?

Huh?
