WITHOUT A GOOD MONSOON SEASON THIS SUMMER, NEW MEXICO COULD BE FACING SOME MAJOR WATER ISSUES. HYDROLOGIST DAVID GENSLER WITH THE MIDDLE RIO GRANDE CONSERVANCY DISTRICT SAYS PARTS OF THE RIVER HAVE ALREADY DRIED UP COMPLETELY.
HE SAYS SOME DRYING IS EXPECTED EVERY SUMMER. BUT GENSLER SAYS IF SUMMER RAINS ARE BELOW NORMAL, PARTS OF THE RIO GRANDE COULD DRY UP IN THE ALBUQUERQUE AREA…SOMETHING HE SAYS HASN’T HAPPENED IN ABOUT 35 YEARS.
