Federal authorities are telling Rio
Grande water users that their allotment of water from the San Juan-Chama
project may be curtailed significantly in 2013 because two years of drought
have depleted reserves.
The Albuquerque Journal reports that the U.S. Bureau of
Reclamation has been informing water agencies that they could see a 20 percent
curtailment it water deliveries next year.
The San Juan-Chama project brings
water from the Colorado River into the Rio Grande
Basin and has been a lifeline for Rio Grande water users in
recent drought years.
