Why is the San Juan-Chama Diversion Project important to the BDD Project?
The San Juan-Chama Diversion Project is very important to the BDD Project, because it provides the annual total of 5,605 acre-feet of water that they already own the rights to, which are about two-thirds of the allowable annual maximum water diversion for the BDD Project. The San Juan-Chama Project water is renewable, and is from a very reliable surface water resource.
