SOUTH VALLEY 14.3From: The Albuquerque Journal Quote My colleague Tania Soussan is our expert on these issues, and I think captured the debate nicely in a piece she wrote in January: Agriculture uses most of the water in the West -- 75 percent in New Mexico. State Engineer John D'Antonio estimates that New Mexico could support a doubling of its 1.9 million population with just 10 percent of the water used on farms in the state in a full supply year. "We're going to continue to have lots of movement of water from agriculture to municipal entities," said Denise Fort, a University of New Mexico water law professor. "Water markets are not necessarily a bad thing as long as they respect the public interest." unquote Drought is a regular event in New Mexico. It visits the state in recurring cycles. A major drought occurred in the 1950s, again in the 1970s, and most recently, in the latter part of the 1990s. If you look at a 2,000-year snapshot of rainfall and snowpack in New Mexico, drought is more the norm for this area than it is an anomaly. This is confirmed by tree-ring data, which indicates drought is a normal part of the cycle and that we may be headed for another extended drought period. During the 1980s, when New Mexicans enjoyed abnormally wet years, is when our state experienced tremendous growth in population.
The normal charge for each unit of water is $1.409 for customers of Albuquerque-Bernalillo County water utility effective 7-1-6 There is a surcharge for those who use 4 times the winter rate. the cost of unit will go over $3.486.
