I apologize for being so absent this spring. I've just been pulled in a million directions during this fourth consecutive year of extreme drought. 

Anyway, I'm sure you all know the drill, but here's what's going on.

We are ramping up the releases to move the Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority's water from El Vado to Abiquiu on the weekends again this summer.

We are trying to ramp the release from El Vado up to 600 cfs every Friday morning and then run at that through Sunday morning when it is again reduced to whatever is demanded by the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District (which has been very little so far.)

On the weekend of July 4th, the plan is to ramp up the release to 600 cfs on the morning of Thursday July 3 and cut it back on Sunday July 6. Please let me know if you have any other specific questions. I will try to get back to sending these out more often.

Thanks,

Mary Carlson
