New Mexico rivers



The Santa Fe river, downstream from a reservoir. It's nearly narrow enough to jump across in places, The river does not provide enough water for Santa Fe. There is an aquifer that is being depleted by wells.










The Rio Grande From the High Gorge Bridge near Taos. Reported flow: 544 cu feet/sec. (Kaw about 23000 cfs today)  Bridge lengths about the same, Height above the water is considerably different.





















Life requires water. Rivers are not just scenery.
