Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the availability of groundwater in the Albuquerque area of New Mexico, and its relevance to the region's urban development. It is part of a larger historical and scientific narrative, which focuses on the development of the region's water resources and the establishment of human populations in arid Southwestern landscapes. The author presents a broad, technical account of the local geology, the physical and chemical properties of the groundwater, and its role in sustaining human activity in the area. By examining the historical record and employing techniques from geology and hydrology, the author demonstrates that the availability of groundwater has been a critical factor in the rise of Albuquerque and surrounding agricultural communities. In the process, the book offers generalizable insights into the challenges and opportunities that arise when human communities emerge in arid environments.
