The Rio Grande is now dry from El Paso to where the Rio Concho flows in from Mexico. The City of Albuquerque is now using Rio Chama water (for which they have owned the rights for many years) from across the Continental Divide because the combination of the Rio Grande water and wells are inadequate - the well water table is down because of a number of years of drought and little or no snowpack. The population here continues to rise.

But that's all ok...Geo.W. says that there is no such thing as global warming.
