WRRI publishes journal on water resources issues
The New Mexico WRRI in conjunction with the New Mexico Academy of Science has produced the 1998 New Mexico Journal of Science. This year's journal focused on water resources issues in New Mexico.
The 19 papers contained in the Journal provide readers with a broad spectrum of current water issues facing our state. The first paper, written by WRRI director Tom Bahr, condenses a vast amount of information on New Mexico's water supply, water use, water law and water administration. It provides a backdrop for the other papers, all written for a general audience by experts in their field.
