Risser, D W; Lyford, F P

The Pueblo of Laguna, located on semiarid lands in west-central New Mexico, needs additional quantities of water chemically suitable for public supply and irrigation. This study evaluates the quantity and quality of water available on the Pueblo of Laguna. Ground water for public supply can be found in the valley fill along the Rio San Jose, in the Paguate and Encinal areas, and possibly in the northern part of the Sedillo Grant. Ground water for irrigation is restricted by available well yields and quality to the valley fill along the Rio San Jose and possibly the western part of the Major's Ranch area. 45 refs., 39 figs., 12 tabs.
