Regardless of hyperlinks, it is pretty short sighted to think that any southwestern state/city can continue to experience these types of population increses and not run into issues. I have family member that works in planning for Tucson water, it is a real issue.
What about the underground fuel spill from Kirtland?
Quote:
Environmentalists call it the largest threat to a city's drinking water supply in history, as much as 24 million gallons of jet fuel - or twice the size of the Exxon Valdez oil spill - seeping into an underground aquifer and steadily toward this drought-stricken city's largest and most pristine water wells.
I know some of you won't like that source (actually it's just an AP story), but is there really no problem?
As for the comment about the Rio Grande, is it seriously supposed to be comforting that we get most of our water from a river which is little more than a muddy trickle at certain points, and which is subject to complicated water rights claims from multiple groups?
Meth use in New Mexico IS bad, period. Be a flamingo with your head in the sand, one of those that are so used to crime in this state that you are blissfully used to the status quo. In many studies, NM consistently ranks undesirably high in drug and alcohol abuse issues, domestic violence, rape, murder, etc etc.
Contrary to popular belief, Albuquerque is not METH infestad
Thats exactly it. Popular belief outside of the state is that new mexico is a impoverished, crime ridden, vast expanse of nothingness and it keeps business and people away. Some may say great, others know that it is not good for the state.
