Sediment erosion in Rio Rancho sparked by development
Third in a four part series, John Werner of the Central Rio Grande Soil and Water Conservation District outlines how concentrated storm water from Rio Rancho streets erodes outlying lands and deposits sediment into the Rio Grande. Cleanup costs run from 40000 to 100000 per affected channel and a five step plan seeks to curb erosion and sediment transport with structures, ponds, and vegetation. Cooperation between the city and the district is urged to prevent downstream costs.
