Albuquerque JournalLas Cruces leaders vow to defend national monumentLAS CRUCES — Reports that the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument is on a short list of designations under target by the Trump administration have riled New Mexico’s congressional delegation

The predictions and news are bad for the Rio Grande Valley and Albuquerque. (Also Las Cruces)

As John Fleck says "We will learn a great deal this year."

=========================================

We are heading into a remarkable year on New Mexico’s Middle Rio Grande. Here are some critical factors:

1. The preliminary April 1 forecast from the NRCS is for 27 percent of median April – July runoff at Otowi, the key measurement gage for New Mexico’s Middle Rio Grande.

2. Current reservoir storage above us is basically nothing.

3. Reclamation’s most recent forecast model runs suggest flow through Albuquerque peaked in February. It usually peaks in May.
