Water wise keynote speaker anchors water conferenceBy Haley Stocking

Assistant Publicist, Sasquatch Books

When Wendy J. Pabich received a monthly water bill for 30,000 gallons (for a household of two people and one dog), she was chagrined. After all, she is an expert on sustainable water use. so she set out to make a change.

“Taking on Water: how one Water expert Challenged her in-ner hypocrite, reduced her Water Footprint (Without Sacrifi cing a Toasty shower), and Found Nir-vana” (sasquatch books; september 2012) is the story of the author’s personal quest to extract and imple-ment – from a dizzying soup of data and analysis – day-to-day solutions to reduce water use in her life. she sets out to examine the water footprint of the products she consumes, process her own wastewater on-site, revamp the water and energy systems in her home, and make appropriate choices in

order to swim the swim.Part memoir, part investigation, part

solution manual, the book is fi lled with ruminations on philosophy, science, facts, fi gures, and personal behavioral insights; metrics to track progress; and guidelines for the general public to make small but important changes in their own lives. Told with humor and

grace, Taking on Water offers a raw account of how deep we need to dig to change our wasteful ways.

Pabich comes to ruidoso for the water conference to share how one individual can make an impact without feeling huge impacts.

Civil engineers emphasize water conservationBy Jennifer Elmore Air Force Civil Engineer, Center Public Aff airs

TYNDAll Air ForCe bAse, Fla. — on April 22, the Air Force will recognize earth Day, a time to show support for the environment. This year, the Air Force is focusing on water reduction and reuse. Water projects may not attract news headlines like energy projects, but the money and critical resources they save deserve attention.

“An emerging part of the energy program is water conservation,” said Ken gray, acting en-ergy director at the Air Force Civil engineer Cen-ter. “it’s critical because in a number of locations, specifi cally Texas, where they’ve had a drought, reservoirs are falling drastically and water is becoming an increasingly scarce commodity.”

AFCeC engineers work with major com-mands and installations to identify, fund and implement water conservation projects. In fi scal year 2012, the Air Force funded 15 water projects that are expected to save two billion gallons of water and $1.07 million a year.

“As with energy projects, a water project is not considered or funded unless it provides a positive return on investment,” said gray.

AFCeC studied utility rates across the Air Force over several years and found the cost of

water is going up 10 percent a year, a rate much faster than natural gas and electricity. rising costs, federal mandates and a dwindling resource has led to an increase in water reuse projects, xeriscaping and leak detection studies.

At holloman AFb, water is especially pre-cious. The base relies on fi ve wells and a lake more than 80 miles away to provide its water. The base constructed its reuse project in 2011.

base Civil engineer lt. Col. Donald ohlem-acher said, “our water reclamation facility takes water from the base wastewater treatment plant and pretreats it to create secondary irrigation for the golf course. The project enables us to provide 600,000 gallons of water daily to the golf course with a total of 70 million gallons of water a year.”

The project, which includes a tank and pipeline, saves $90,000 annually and will pay for itself in fi ve years.

All Airmen and their families can save water and money. At home, shorten showers one minute and brush your teeth effi ciently. Check for and repair leaking faucets and toilets. Avoid watering the lawn at midday to prevent high evaporation. Capture and reuse rain water. Don’t water the lawn during droughts and wash only full loads of laundry.

Wendy J. Pabich is an environmental scientist, speaker, educator, adventurer and artist obsessed with all things water. As the founder and president of Water Futures, Inc., Wendy works to fi nd innovative solutions to one of the planet’s most pressing prob-lems - the quest for sustainable water. Her passion for mountains, outdoor adventure and other cultures has taken her to places near and far - including Alas-ka, Patagonia, and the Himalaya - to explore on skis, on foot and by water. Wendy has published papers in peer-reviewed science journals and speaks frequently to diverse audiences on water-related topics. She is the author of Taking on Water: How One Water Expert Challenged Her Inner Hypocrite, Reduced Her Water Footprint (Without Sacrifi cing a Toasty Shower), and Found Nirvana (Sasquatch 2012), and Idaho: An Explorer’s Guide (The Country-man Press 2008). She serves on the board of directors of High Country News and on the Levy Advisory Board for the Blaine County Land, Water and Wildlife Fund.

Protecting and conserving groundwater in southeast NMBY Bill NetherlinChairman, PVACD

For seven decades, the Pecos Valley Artesian Conservancy District (PVACD) has worked to preserve and protect the waters of southeastern New Mexico. Through its management and advocacy, the PVACD has assured its citizens of the sustainability of the roswell Artesia basin and the Pecos river. Although originally cre-ated to conserve and manage the ground water of the roswell Artesia basin, the PVACD has actively played a role in the adjudication of the surface waters of the Pecos river and its tributaries, includ-ing the rio ruidoso, rio bonito and hon-do river. Through PVACD’s efforts, the roswell Artesia basin continues to be recognized as one of the best man-aged aquifers in the world.

Through the leadership of the PVACD a historic settlement agree-ment was reached between the state of New Mexico, the united states bureau of reclama-tion, the Carlsbad irrigation District, and the PVACD. As a result of the settlement agreement, the citizens of the PVACD, including the residents of roswell, Dexter, hagerman, lake Arthur, Artesia, parts of Chaves county, and northern eddy County, are assured that the possibility of a water right priority call have been largely eliminated. Through the establishment of augmentation well fi elds at lake Arthur and seven rivers, the settlement agreement ensures the resi-dents of the Carlsbad irrigation District a reliable source of water for their irrigation needs. Finally, and equally important, the residents of southeastern New Mexico and the state of New Mexico are given an additional method in meeting the require-

ment of the Pecos river Compact with the state of Texas.

The citizens of southeastern New Mexico are now faced with another threat to the delivery of water to our area and the Texas State line. A for-profi t corpora-tion has made application with the New Mexico state engineer to take water by pipeline from a well fi eld next to the Pecos river at Fort sumner to the santa

Fe area and other areas along the rio grande. The PVACD has pro-tested the proposed application because, if granted, the trans-fer of the water will seriously reduce and impair the fl ow of the Pecos river, thus, affecting the delivery of water to the Carlsbad irrigation District and to Texas for the Pecos river Com-pact delivery. The proposed transfer of the water will also have a detrimental impact upon the ecological balance of the river and its inhabitants, includ-ing the Pecos river shiner and other protected species upon the reaches of the river, including bitter lake Nation-al Wildlife refuge, and bottomless lakes state Park.

The proposed transfer of the water to northern New Mexico also poses a serious threat to the economic well-being of the re-gion. once the water is lost to the cities of northern New Mexico, it will never be re-turned to the area. The corporation seeking to transfer the water has submitted that the transfer of the waters to the cities of north-ern New Mexico will be a fi nancial benefi t to the Fort Sumner area. The only fi nancial benefi t to the transfer of the water rights is to the corporation seeking the transfer and the cities of northern New Mexico. For further information contact bill Netherlin, Chairman, Pecos Valley Artesian Conser-vancy District, 575-622-7000.

The Pecos Valley Artesian Con-servancy District (PVACD) was cre-ated by Order of the District Court of Chaves County, on Jan. 11, 1932. The district was created to conserve the waters of the Roswell-Artesian Basin, including the lands within the Basin located in both Chaves and Eddy Counties.

Over the last 70 years, PVACD has participated in joint studies with the New Mexico School of Mines, USGS, OSE, and the ISC to further understand the hydrology of the basin.

Irrigation in the basin reached an all time high in 1953 and 1954 with approximately 144,600 acres under irrigation. Water levels in the aquifer began to decline allowing saline encroachment north and east of Roswell.

Energy-saving programs help keep New Mexico skies bluePNM customers can celebrate Earth Day with more renewable energy, energy bill savings and cleaner air

Albuquerque — There are many energy milestones New Mexicans can celebrate this earth Day including experi-encing the benefits of renewable energy and energy-saving programs. Renewable energy• By the end of 2013,

if you are a PNM customer, you will get twice as much energy from the sun as you do today.

• Solar centers are being expanded.

• The number of customers taking advantage of PNM’s customer solar program continues to grow.

• The first utility-scale geothermal plant in the state is being developed to serve PNM cus-tomers.

Energy efficiency• Customers par-

ticipating in energy-saving programs have helped to save 706 million kWh since 2007, which is enough energy to power 95,000 homes for a year.

• Thousands of waste-ful refrigerators and freezers were recycled locally.

• Customers swapped out millions of incan-descent bulbs for

compact fluorescent (CFL) bulbs.• Efforts by customers resulted in

saving more than 39,000 metric tons of carbon and 28.3 million gal-lons of water just last year.

• Local businesses have cashed in as well, making energy-saving changes and receiving rebates of more than $27 million since 2007.

Alamogordo Mayor susie galea made a grim announcement regard-

ing the after fi re effects on bonito lake to a crowd of more than 200 people during last summer’s rally ‘For our Forest’s health’ held at Wingfi eld Park following the little bear Fire.

“The dam-age to beautiful bonito lake is already evident. Following the fi re approximately

one-half inch of rain fell in the burned area around bonito lake depositing 35 feet of silt which is already causing problems,” galea said.

heavy seasonal rains and silt de-

posits threatened to push water over the dam itself if the spillway may not be able to accommodate the surge. galea explained that with the draining come problems. “underwater dive teams and heavy equipment were deployed to clear the silt lines that have been clogged in order to get the adequate drainage needed to stay in the safe zone,” galea said last year. The water level was at 11 feet below the spillway and the goal is to be at least 20 feet.

At the time of the rally, galea further explained that Alamogordo’s water supply was about 77 percent of capacity but holloman AFb uses most of the water from the bonito Pipeline which has been shut down. “We are going to have to go back on other water sources and old wells while we work with holloman as it may be 10 years before water fl ows through the bonito Pipeline again,” galea said. bonito lake supplies Alamogordo 13 to 30 percent of the six million gallons of water each day.

Mescalero Apache Tribe Leasing Authorization ActWAshiNgToN, D.C. — The house

of representatives passed hr 1461, the Mescalero Apache Tribe leasing Autho-rization Act introduced by Congressman steve Pearce. The legislation authorizes the Mescalero Apache Tribe to lease, con-tract, or transfer adjudicated water rights.

“i am pleased with the passage of this bill, which has bipartisan support in the house and the senate,” Pearce said. “The ability to lease these water rights will generate great economic opportunity for the Mescalero Tribe, and will provide water for New Mexicans when we need it most.”

Frederick Chino, sr., president of the Mescalero Apache Tribe, thanked congressman Pearce for his work. “The Mescalero Apache Tribe is working hard to ensure that the future is bright for our peo-ple and surrounding communities,” said Chino. “Water is one of our most precious resources and hr 1461 will allow our Tribe to better manage our water and allow us to work with our neighboring communi-ties on water usage. We thank rep. steven Pearce for his leadership on passage of this critical bill and for his friendship and partnership. Working together, we can revitalize the area we all share in a way that allows our communities to grow and prosper for all that live here.”

The bill also honors the right for Na-tive American tribal self-determination, by permitting the Tribe to make sovereign de-cisions with the water, which was granted to the Tribe as a result of a 1993 New Mex-ico court decision. revenue gained from leasing this water would enable the Tribe to invest in vital services for their reservation,

such as infrastructure improvements, elder care and scholarship programs.

Fellow New Mexicans, Congressmen lujan and heinrich, were cosponsors of this legislation. The bill is identical to legislation introduced by senator Jeff bin-gaman in the senate.

Many a music aficionado has declared elvis Presley to be the great-est musician America ever produced. The cultural icon, who continues to be the best-selling solo artist in the history of popular music, was an extraordinarily uninhib-ited entertainer, singer, actor, hip-shaking performer that forever made an imprint on American culture. During his four-decade career he released an amazing body of pop ballads, gospel and blues, as well as rocka-billy – an up-tempo fusion of country and rhythm and blues that popularized the energized sound. he was nominated for 14 grammys, won three, and received the grammy lifetime Achievement Award at age 36.

elvis died quite suddenly in 1977 when just 42, but his music and life still shines.

“Elvis Lives,” which fills Spencer Theater spotlights on sunday, April 28 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., is an electrifying multi-media and live musical journey celebrating elvis’s star-studded life. An unforgettable performance experi-ence, the mega-production brings to life elvis’s iconic style – the extraordinary quality and three octave range of his voice – as well as dynamic moves, stun-ning deliveries and trademark swagger – which continues to intrigue audiences of all generations around the world.

“elvis lives” is the only tribute production in the world that is en-dorsed by the elvis family, a stamp of approval. The full-stage produc-

tion features finalists from elvis Presley enterprises’ worldwide ultimate elvis Tribute Artist Contest (bill Cherry, leo Days, ben Klein & Kevin Mills), during each of the four dominate phases of elvis’s career. each segment is segued by footage from grace-land archives, and one segment – the hol-lywood era – also stars

lori russo as Ann-Margret. The entire production also features a cast of back-up singers and dancers and a rocking band of musicians on bass, drums, guitar and keyboards.

enjoy this fulsome concert experi-ence with all your favorite elvis tunes like “heartbreak hotel,” “it’s Now or Never,” “Are You lonesome Tonight,” “how great Though Art,” “return To sender,” “hunk of burning love” and more.

Audiences can’t help falling love with “elvis lives!” excellent seats are still available for both shows. Tickets range from $53-$59. Call the spencer Theater Box Office at 575-336-4800 or visit www.spencertheater.com for tickets. A pre-show fried chicken din-ner buffet ($20) will be available in the lobby at 5 p.m.

Stage II fire restrictions set for Lincoln National Forest’s Guadalupe Ranger DistrictAlAMogorDo — The lincoln

National Forest is planning to imple-ment Stage II fire restrictions on the guadalupe ranger District, effective April 21.

Stage II fire restrictions include the following prohibitions:1. building, maintaining, attending,

or using a fire, campfire, charcoal, coal, wood or stove; exceptions: The use of petroleum-fueled stoves, lanterns, propane grills, or heating devices is allowed, provided such devices meet the fire underwriter’s specification for safety.

2. smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle or building;

3. using an explosive;

4. Discharging a firearm, air rifle or gas gun;

5. Possession, discharging, or using any type of firework or pyrotechnic device;

6. operating a chainsaw, or other equipment powered by an internal combustion engine, is prohibited between the hours of 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.;

7. Welding or operating acetylene or other torch with open flame;

8. operating or using any internal or external combustion engine without a spark arresting device properly in-stalled, maintained, and in effective working order meeting either:

a. Department of Agriculture, Forest service standard 5100-1a; or

b. Appropriate society of Au-tomotive engineers (sAe) recommended practice;

9. Possessing or using a motor vehicle off National Forest system roads, except when parking in an area de-void of vegetation within 10 feet of the roadway; and except for parking overnight in Forest service devel-oped campgrounds and trailheads;

10. Violating any state law concerning burning, fires, or which is for the purpose of preventing or restricting the spread of fire.

Exemptions – The following are exempt from this order:1. Persons with a Forest service

2. Any federal, state or local officer, or member of an organized firefight-ing force in the performance of an official duty.

3. Generators that are specifically designed by the manufacturer to be used within, and are used within, an enclosed recreational vehicle such as a motorhome or travel trailer.

in the past two weeks, the Fire Danger rating for the smokey bear and sacramento ranger Districts has been elevated to “high,” however there are no fire restrictions on these two districts at this time. “based on differences in elevation, vegetation, and varying precipitation amounts between the guadalupe ranger District, and both the smokey bear and sacramento ranger Districts, conditions are more extreme in the low country currently. These conditions prompted the action to start the Stage II fire restrictions,” said Troy hagan, Deputy Fire staff for the lincoln National Forest. “As the season progresses, constant evaluation and monitoring of local fuel conditions continues, and results will be recorded and used to track trends which may validate the need for further actions in fire prevention measures. These may include additional fire restrictions in the future. Discussions are ongoing, both internally and with our partners,” hagan added.

Current information regarding fire restrictions will be posted on http://firerestrictions.us/ this link can also be accessed via http://nmfireinfo.com/ and the lincoln’s website www.fs.usda.gov/lincoln. Follow us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/lincolnusForest.


in the spring of 2005, acclaimed envi-ronmental photographer James balog headed to the Arctic on a tricky assignment for Na-tional geographic: to capture images to help tell the story of the earth’s changing climate. Even with a scientifi c upbringing, Balog had been a skeptic about climate change. but that fi rst trip north opened his eyes to the biggest story in human history and sparked a challenge within him that would put his career and his very well-being at risk.

“Chasing ice” is the story of one man’s mission to change the tide of history by gathering undeniable evidence of our chang-ing planet. Within months of that fi rst trip to iceland, the photographer conceived the boldest expedition of his life: The extreme ice survey. With a band of young adventur-ers in tow, balog began deploying revolu-tionary time-lapse cameras across the brutal Arctic to capture a multi-year record of the

world’s changing glaciers.As the debate polarizes America and the

intensity of natural disasters ramps up glob-ally, Balog fi nds himself at the end of his tether. battling untested technology in sub-zero conditions, he comes face to face with his own mortality. it takes years for balog to see the fruits of his labor. his hauntingly beautiful videos compress years into sec-onds and capture ancient mountains of ice in motion as they disappear at a breathtaking rate. “Chasing ice” depicts a photographer trying to deliver evidence and hope to our carbon-powered planet.
