  17. Common Aspects * Aspectos Común

  18. Summed Up population * populación water demands * demandas de agua • depend on groundwater * depiende de agua subterranea • uses exceed recharge * usos exceden recarga

  19. 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

  20. 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?
