【 摘 要 】

Large supplies of ground water, of a quality that can be used now, exist in sand and gravel aquifers principally in the southeastern and southwestern part of the State, in the Rio Grande Va11ey, and smaller supplies are available in the alluvium of most valleys. Aquifers in limestone predominate in the south-central part of the State and in the Grants area where moderate to large supplies of water can be developed. Sandstone aquifers capable of yielding small to moderate supplies of water occur primarily in the northeastern and northwestern part of the State.
