Abstract: The Upper Rio Grande and Pecos River basins in New Mexico have smaller water supplies in relation to projected demand than any other region of the United States [5]. As a result, the concept of augmenting water supplies by desalting saline groundwater has attracted wide attention as a means of stimulating economic development in New Mexico. Previous studies have, however, resulted in contradictory evidence of the feasibtlity of such projects [1, 5].
