The author, a respected expert in hydrology, details the results of extensive investigation into the nature and behavior of the underground water in this specific region. The book delves into the geological formations and processes that have shaped the underground water systems, including the impact of volcanic activity, erosion, and the unique characteristics of the Rio Grande itself.
