In Kansas agricultural irrigation accounts for greater than 95 percent of
water used in the state every year. I suspect similar numbers apply to New
Mexico.
There is No Reason for the statement:
Albuquerque Mayor Martin Chavez said it takes "water from the mouths of this city's
children" and puts the city's future water supply in jeopardy.
Its just agribusiness propaganda, as usual.
