Comparison of SRF <br />and MCC data in New Mexico could not be made, thus, differences could <br />not be identified. For the most part, MCC data have no useful appli- <br />cation in New Mexico in providing economic, water and related land <br />resource statistical information. <br /> <br />Existing laws, regulations, and compacts that relate to water <br />use within scates or between states appear to be ignored. State lsws <br />and interstate compacts affect present and future use of water supplies <br />and both are important in determining availability of these supplies <br />for various uses. <br /> <br />The State'of New Mexico recommends future studies include state <br />data and consider tn,;ieg'al-,constraints whien affeCt ~..,'~se 01 <br />wat'ei'supplies. <br /> <br />During Activity 3, Phase II, two Group A problems in the AWR <br />Region in New Mexico were defined. Problem No. I noted several <br />problem issues and effects which are common throughout the area and <br />Problem No. 2 is concerned with dwindling groundwater supplies in <br />areas where pumping exceeds recharge and water levels are being lowered. <br /> <br />Problem No. I. Common problems throughout the area are limited <br />surface-VaTer Buppi~es; flooding in urban and rural areas, erosion of <br />the landscape; siltation and sedimentation in stream channels and <br />reservoir areas. <br /> <br />17 <br />
