Common Aspects * Aspectos Común

population * populación water demands * demandas de agua   depend on groundwater * depiende de agua subterranea   uses exceed recharge * usos exceden recarga 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 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?
