United States: New Mexico (NM) Japan United States: New Mexico (NM) 1994 2013 In 1916 Elephant Butte Hydroelectric Dam was constructed on the Rio Grande River in New Mexico forming the Elephant Butte Reservoir. The hydroelectric dam produces enough renewable electricity every year to provide electricity for over 3,500 houses. Most electricity comes from the burning of fossil fuels, which produces carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide has been shown to raise global temperatures. Hydroelectric power does not produce carbon dioxide. In 2013, there was a massive drought in New Mexico due in part to rising global temperatures. This as well as a growing need for water due to increased population caused the reservoir to reach an all-time low of only 3% of its full capacity in 2013. Japan Before 2011 After 2011 In March of 2011 there was an earthquake in Japan (currently the 4th most powerful earthquake ever recorded), which also caused a tsunami. These natural disasters caused the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant (used for generate electricity for Japan) to undergo major damage and ultimately the nuclear fuel in the plant melted down and escaped to the surrounding areas. Above are pictures of the tidal pools near the plant before (left) and after (right) the disaster. Before the disaster ~7,000 unique species could be found in the tide pools. After the disaster only ~100 unique species could be found in the same area. 1 United States: Alaska (AK) 1941 2004 Scientists have shown that carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere can capture the heat given off by the Earth preventing it from escaping into outer space. Carbon dioxide is emitted anytime things are burned. Since 1900, we have increased the amount of fossil fuels that we burn and therefore have dramatically increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This has led to a rise in global temperatures. The pictures above show the Muir Glacier in Alaska which sits on a bay in the Pacific Ocean. When glaciers melt, brown dirt is exposed, which absorbs more light than the white ice, further raising the average global temperature. Kenya 1973 2009 The Mau Forest in Kenya is the largest mountain forest in East Africa. This area has some of the largest rainfalls in Kenya with multiple rivers originating in the forest. The forest was traditionally inhabited by Ogiek people who have a hunter-gather lifestyle. Recently, other ethnic groups have been moving into the area who rely on converting forestland into farmland for their food source. In addition, logging is a major industry in the area. The plants in the forest make parts of the pictures green. 2 Brazil 1975 2009 The fifth largest export of Brazil is meat. Each year the country exports 13.3 billion dollars of meat to other countries. Rising demands for beef has led ranchers to search for more areas for cows to graze. Brazil contains 60% of the Amazon Rainforest, which is home to over 59,000 unique living species. The green seen in the pictures above is the lush vegetation of the rainforest. This vegetation helps reduce carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere (carbon dioxide has been seen to raise global temperatures) by transforming the carbon dioxide into oxygen. United States: California (CA) 1968 2005 In 1970 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) passed the Clean Air Act. This legislation was used to limit the emissions of both stationary (factories) and mobile (cars) sources of air pollution. The gases produced from factories and cars can lead to acid rain. In addition, when these gases are in the atmosphere they trap heat that would normally escape from the Earth’s surface into outer space. 3 United States: Virginia (VA) 1984 2016 A common coal-mining practice in the Appalachian Mountains is called Mountaintop Removal Mining. Explosives are used to remove up to 400 vertical feet of mountain to expose the coal that lies below. Coal from mountaintop removal is used to produce about 4% of the electricity in the United States. Coal is a nonrenewable source of electricity that also emits carbon dioxide when burned, leading to a rise in global temperatures. The extra rock and soil they remove from the mountaintop is dumped into nearby valleys, contaminating the water supply and impacting the ecosystem. This method of coal mining is less expensive and requires fewer employees than traditional coal mining. Australia 2015 2016 Coral and algae depend on each other to survive. A healthy coral has special algae, called Zooxanthellae, living within its tissues. The algae provide the coral with food and also make corals colorful. In turn, the corals provide a place for the algae to live. A rise in global temperatures has caused the water in the ocean to gradually become warmer. When water is too warm, the algae that lives together with corals becomes stressed, and leaves the coral. The coral loses its color and turns white, called coral bleaching. Once a coral has become bleached, it is more likely to starve or get sick and die. Much of the coral in the Great Barrier Reef has become bleached, leading to the death of fish and other sea creatures that rely on the coral. 4 Romania Before January 2000 After January 2000 The Rosia Montana Gold Corporation signed a deal in 1995 to develop land in the mountains of Romania to extract gold and silver. They began the project at two old mining sites in the area. They removed the gold through the process of gold cyanidation, which involves pumping cyanide (a poison) into the ground to extract the gold from the mixture of ore and rocks present in the mountains. United States, New York (NY) 1893 1895 The Department of Sanitation New York (DSNY) was founded in 1881 as the Department of Street Cleaning and became one of the first sanitation agencies in the world that democratically cleaned and picked up snow from every street, regardless of neighborhood. One of the Department’s first Commissioners, Colonel George E. Waring, Jr., pioneered such current practices as recycling, street sweeping, and a dedicated uniformed cleaning service. The June 22, 1895, edition of Harper’s Weekly compared photos of a street corner before and after Department of Street Cleaning had started to provide regular maintenance to show what an incredible transformation street cleaning had. Today, the New York City Department of Sanitation is the largest sanitation department in the world. 5 .

  • Rio Grande Compact Violations
    RIO GRANDE COMPACT VIOLATIONS VIOLATION New Mexico’s ever increasing water use and groundwater pumping below Elephant Butte Reservoir (EBR) deprives Texas of water apportioned to it under the 1938 Rio Grande Compact (Compact). OVERVIEW The Rio Grande Project (Project) serves the Las Cruces, New Mexico and El Paso, Texas areas and includes Elephant Butte Reservoir. Federal legislation provides for Project water to be allocated 57 percent to Project Lands within New Mexico and 43 percent to Project Lands in Texas. Two districts receive this Project Water—Elephant Butte Irrigation District (EBID) in New Mexico and El Paso County Water Improvement District No. 1 (EP #1) in Texas. A 1938 contract among EBID, EP #1 and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) reflects the 57 percent–43 percent division. The City of El Paso obtains about 50% of its water from EP#1's allocation. The Compact apportions the waters of the Rio Grande among the signatory states of Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas. The Compact apportions all of the water that New Mexico delivers into Elephant Butte Reservoir to Texas, subject to the United States’ Treaty obligation to Mexico and the United States’ Project Contract with EBID in New Mexico. The Compact sought to maintain the status quo as it existed in 1938 utilizing the Rio Grande Project as a means to insure that this occurred. ISSUE Texas is deprived of water apportioned to it in the Compact because New Mexico has authorized and permitted wells that have been developed near the Rio Grande in New Mexico. These wells (estimated at over 3,000) pump as much as 270,000 acre-feet of water annually.

Stein(3) (1)Dept. of Entomology, Plant Pathology & Weed Science, New Mexico State Univ. PO Box 30003, MSC 3BE, Las Cruces, New Mexico 88003 USA [email protected] (2)College of Agriculture, New Mexico State University PO Box 30003, MSC 3AG, Las Cruces, New Mexico 88003 USA [email protected] (3)Physical Science Laboratory, New Mexico State University PO Box 30002, Las Cruces, New Mexico 88003 USA, [email protected] ABSTRACT Since the launch of NASA's Terra satellite in December 1999, the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection (ASTER) instrument has made a number of observations of the Elephant Butte Reservoir. The first observations were in June 2000 and the most recent were in October 2007. This period includes the recent drought conditions and the earlier full water conditions. The area of the reservoir was estimated for each of these scenes and compared with known water levels. The ASTER observations include both the visible reflectance and the thermal infrared emission (surface temperature). Both spectral regions can provide good contrast between the water and the surrounding land. This contrast makes the area estimation straightforward. INTRODUCTION For many reservoirs there are considerable fluctuations in levels as water is drawn down for irrigation purposes. We present satellite observations of changes in the surface water area as evidence of this drawdown. Since the launch of NASA's Terra satellite in December 1999, ASTER has made more than 30 observations of the Elephant Butte Reservoir located on the Rio Grande in central New Mexico, USA including night-time observations.

Mutz A review of the record of the deliveries of the States of Colorado 4 and New Mexico and the releases of water from project storage under the Rio Grande Compact between the States of Colorado, New Mexico and Texas may be of interest to students of the practical aspects of interstate water compacts. Plate I illustrates those records. The accrued credits,' or accrued debits,6 of the State of Colorado and the State of New Mexico at the end of each calendar year as determined at the following regular meeting of the Rio Grande Com- pact Commission are plotted on Plate I. The amount of water re- leased from project storage for beneficial use in New Mexico and Texas and for delivery to Mexico under the Mexican Treaty of 1906' during the calendar year indicated is also plotted. Perhaps the most striking feature of Plate I is its illustration of the fact that both Colorado and New Mexico have been in a debit status during most of the time since the Compact became effective.
