Forester Warns Water Shortages From Ground Depletion
U S forester Fred Kennedy told the Society of American Foresters in Albuquerque that most underground water in Arizona and New Mexico is pumped faster than it is replaced. He warned rivers are overextended as water is diverted to the Platte, Arkansas and Rio Grande drainages. Kennedy cited Arizona studies showing water yields could rise up to 53 percent over four years by converting forest land to grass land, noting recreation and water yield goals may clash.
