I've posted some good water-related blogs to your right of this post, including
Aguanomics,
WaterWired,
ChanceofRain, and
Staci Matock's blog. Only Staci is locally based here in northern New Mexico, but the others post quantitatively more material on a daily and weekly basis and they offer excellent comparative perspective on issues from other states. I was to appear and give a brief spiel on my research, and respond to a request about water judges (and their background) in Colorado, to the New Mexico Acequia Commission. With family in town, and research still afoot, I've asked for a pass this week to return in January 2010 when I know (more) about what I'm talking about...in the the mean-time, the posts here are going to get more literary and comparative based on my winter readings, and the return to the state archives in January and February of 2010. But much of my remaining travel will be about the compulsion (or is it need?) of water metering around the state, from Chama, to the Gallinas, to the Mimbres. The
photo shows yours truly stalking the
USGS water gauge on Tesuque Creek above Santa Fe (before diversions), and a new level of state meters, flumes, and gauges is being distributed state-wide to track water users and their consumption and allocation.
All for now...happy holidays.
