Water worries for New Mexico farmers

Posted at: 11/17/2011 8:10 PM | Updated at: 11/17/2011 8:23 PM

The Rio Grande runs drier through irrigation of New Mexico farms each day.

Only four inches or irrigation water is expected for farmers south of Elephant Butte Dam this year. Many farmers in the Elephant Butte area are expecting even less next year.

What?s worse, many small farmers in the area do not have access to agricultural wells to pump ground water.

Some worry that the dry soil will absorb water, whenever it reaches the dirt, before it ever streams to the Rio Grande.
