Relevant
Studies, Analyses, and Reports - The Middle Rio
Grande Region (Sandoval, Bernalillo and Valencia Counties) and Basin
(Cochiti Reservoir to Elephant Butte Reservoir) have been the
beneficiaries of lots of applicable studies, analyses, and reports
which should not be ignored. Links to selected documents appear

Middle Rio
Grande Water Supply Study (MRGWSS) - The Middle Rio Grande Water Supply Study
was initiated in June 1999 as a joint project of the New Mexico
Interstate Stream Commission and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The
study was conducted as the first step of a broad regional water
planning process, addressing the question, "What is the water
supply for the region?" To answer this question, the study
quantified the conjunctive groundwater-surface water supply for the
region from Cochiti Dam to Elephant Butte Reservoir, considering the
constraints of the Rio Grande Compact. An Executive Steering Committee
comprised of water resource engineers and scientists, and major
stakeholders in the study area provided technical advice and guidance during
the project.
These products provide an up-to-date integration of past
and on-going technical studies that can be used in the regional water
planning process. This
study builds on the previous Water Supply Study, providing planners
with improved analysis of water supply conditions and Compact
compliance under both current and potential drought scenarios, and
provides a clear assessment of the potential impacts of the Middle Rio
Grande, Socorro-Sierra, and Jemez y Sangre planning region water
planning alternatives on Compact deliveries to Elephant Butte
Reservoir.
