IT LOOKS LIKE A GOOD YEAR FOR FARMERS WHO IRRIGATE ALONG THE RIVER VALLEY. TOM THORPE WITH THE MIDDLE RIO GRANDE CONSERVANCY DISTRICT SAYS THERE’S MORE THAN 90-THOUSAND ACRE FEET OF WATER STORED AT EL VADO LAKE IN NORTHERN NEW MEXICO…AND THEY HAVEN’T HAD TO RELEASE A DROP, DUE TO SPRING RUNOFF AND THE ROBUST MONSOON SEASON.
THORPE SAYS THERE’S A VERY HEALTHY FLOW IN THE RIO GRANDE RIGHT NOW…RUNNING ALMOST BANK TO BANK.
