this. Interesting. I’m looking at some of the two and three week weather-model simulations, some of which suggests an early start to the summer rains. I hope that’s true:
LOS LUNAS — Only months into the 2022 irrigation season, Jason Casuga, chief engineer and CEO of the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District, told the 50-plus farmers gathered at the Los Lunas Transportation Center on Wednesday afternoon the district was predicting irrigation waters would run out by the first week of June.
During a follow up interview on Friday, Casuga told the News-Bulletin the district might be able to keep ditches running until the third week of June.
“Based on the water meeting today (Friday, May 27), we’re hopeful that while a lot of the native water will be gone somewhere in the second week of June, if we can get there, we plan to use San Juan Chama water to extend that out another week, week-and-a-half,” Casuga said. “If the best happens — outside of getting rain — we could get into the third week of June before we run out.”
