re: #85 albusteve

we have the Sandias and the Monzanos mountains to my east…the warm air gets pushed over them from the east…the air rises, condenses and presto! rain…the city of ABQ is not hurting for drinking water and we are not as parched as west and south Texas…close tho

Yah, but that water debt you’ve got hanging over from the agreement to share Rio Grande water hangs over you like the Sword of Damocles. And Elephant Butte needs as much as it can collect. Everybody has been talking about the huge snowpack this year in the Rockies feeding the Missouri and the Colorado, but the San Juans got squat.
