WINDOW ROCK Ariz The Navajo Tribe will spend 537000 for an emergency water hauling program this summer. The Tribal Council approved reallocating funds from a grant for the Navajo Indian Irrigation Project. Officials say water will be hauled to drought affected areas across the reservation, with about one quarter of the land drought hit last year. A drought emergency impact office is planned to coordinate tribal state and federal assistance. A broader water system and pipelines from existing wells are estimated at 2.6 million and 1.5 million respectively, with construction possible within two weeks if funds are available.
