Pumping Plan Profitable for El Paso Valley Irrigation
The El Paso valley can boost land productivity by pumping groundwater from 20 to 40 feet deep using a 1000 gpm plant. A $2500 upfront cost with annual operating costs of about $30 per acre yields quick payback, with 140 acres watered per pump and annual profits from alfalfa crops supporting the scheme before Elephant Butte storage is built.
