ADDITIONAL WATER IS NOW BEING RELEASED FROM ABIQUIU RESERVOIR IN NORTHERN NEW MEXICO…AND THAT MEANS YOU'LL SOON BE SEEING MORE OF A FLOW IN THE RIO GRANDE IN ABQ: TOM THORPE WITH THE MIDDLE RIO GRANDE CONSERVANCY DISTRICT SAYS IT WON'T DOUBLE IN SIZE, BUT YOU SEE A LITTLE BIT OF A RISE IN THE RIVER FOR ABOUT A WEEK.
THE RIVER FLOW IS BEING INCREASED TO HELP THE SILVERY MINNOW SPAWN. HE SAYS THAT HASN'T HAPPENED IN THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS SINCE THE RIVER HAS BEEN LOW DUE TO THE DROUGHT.
