0) '" c.c N <:.> o 4. Continuing reconnaissance and evaluation of water reSources on the White Sands Missile Range. An ongoing study by the U. S. Geological Survey to obtain data on which to base periodic evaluation of reservoir depletion due to withdrawals of supply wells in the White Sands Missile Range Post Headquarters area. This study will evaluate approaches for the most economical recovery of the maximum available fresh-water supply. 5. Stratigraphy and groundwater hydrology of the Capitan Lime- stone and associated formation in southeastern New Mexico and western Texas. A study by the U. S. Geological Survey to determine if large amounts of water withdrawn from the Capitan Limestone for oil produc- tion and oil field secondary recovery will affect prior water commit- ments of the Pecos River and several basins declared by the New Mexico State Engineer. 6. Geology and groundwater resources of the Sandia, Manzanita, and Manzano Mountains. A study by the U. S. Geological Survey and the New Mexico Bureau of Mines to obtain data on geology and water resources so that adequate water supplies can be developed for small communities, homes, and industry. 7. Water Resources of Santa Fe~o~Qty~ New Mexico. A study by the U. S. Geological Survey to obtain basic and quantitative geohydrologic data upon which to evaluate aquifer yields" chemical quality of water, relationship between surface and ground water, and effects of water-use developments in Santa Fe County. 8. A comprehensive study of the water resources of the Lower Rio Grande Valley area, New Mexico. An ongoing study by the U. S. Geological Survey to evaluate resource development and management plans which will aid the city of Las Cruces to plan for orderly development of municipal supplies. This study will also evaluate the availability, quantity, quality, and uses of ground and sur- face water in relation to design and operation of a combined ground and surface-water system for irrigation. 9. Reconnaissance study of water resources available to urban areas. An ongoing study by the U. S. Geological Survey to determine if suitable supplies of water for municipal and indus- trial uses, projected against anticipated future population growth, will be available when needed in certain urban areas. This study will also define influences that may affect future quality and quantity of available water. 10. Hydrologic investigations related to a radioactive wastes repository in salt beds in southeastern New Mexico. A study by the U. S. Geologi.ca1 Survey and the Sandia L"boratories, to evaluate a potential reposi.tory for radioactive wastes in salt beds in southeastern New Mexico. Information is needed on the 41 .-,;'....-. ........
