Wed. 01/18 8a: Looking for new solutions to meet New Mexico’s water needs. This week on the KUNM Call-in Show we’ll talk about whether the use of low-quality water—including sewage—could help decrease the burden on our over-taxed water supply. If scientists could assure you that water reclaimed from your drains was pure enough to drink…would you grab a glass and swallow it down?

Ed Archuleta: President and CEO of El Paso Water Utilities
