Senator Pete Domenici unveils the Water Supply Technologies Act to help Southwestern communities find new water sources and finance arsenic removal. The bill proposes 25 million dollars for a Water Supply Technologies program, extends EPA compliance deadlines, and funds desalination research at Sandia National Laboratories and New Mexico State University. It also seeks a National Desalination Research Center in Otero County to tap into the basin's 200 million acre-foot saline resource.
