Abstract |
Water is the most limiting resource in New Mexico and the water that we have is the State's greatest asset. Surface and subsurface water is used to supply growing municipal and industrial damands and to irrigate the land. According to the Senate Select Committee Report of 1961 and the Water Resources Council Report of 1968, and major part of the State is facing the most critical shortage of water in relation to projected demands of any other area of the Nation. In addition to papers discussing New Mexico's specific water problems, other papers dealt with renovating sewage effluent, systems analysis in water resource management, irrigation of corn, Arizona's water problems, antitranspirants, sediment, herbicides, irrigation, consumptive requirements, water and the Navajos, and water law. |
