Cotton Puts Pinch on Tucson's Water
In Tucson and the Santa Cruz Valley the cotton boom threatens the water supply. City manager Phil J. Martin Jr. says no danger of drying, but water officials fear overpumpage this season as large cotton plantings follow removal of production controls. The Hughes Tool plant south of the city will share the underground supply, with wells already lowered and more likely to come. Total water pumped last year reached a record 4.39 billion gallons from 14,617 customers paying about $809,000. conservation efforts include cooler-use regulations and recirculating pumps requirements.
