Water salvage plan urged for Pecos River Basin

A Washington conference on Congressman J Z Rutherford of Odessa urged action on a bill to fund a Pecos River Basin water salvage channel and salt alleviation works. Attendees from Pecos included J C Wilson and C J Andy Anderson, with estimates of 2 161 900 for salvage works and 150 000 for salinity relief. If approved, salt cedar growth would be curtailed and about 117 000 acre feet of water saved, amid concerns the river water is increasingly polluted.
