How does the BDD Project promote sustainability?
The BDD Project treats previously undrinkable water and puts this resource to beneficial use through an advanced Water Treatment Process. It uses San Juan-Chama surface water (imported, not scarce native Rio Grande water) which is renewable and sustainable because this source of water is very reliable. Also, it drastically reduces the overdraft (overpumping) or our regional aquifer and avoids using renewable/sustainable San Juan-Chama water for offsets (instead of beneficial use for drinking water).
