The Desert Cries – A Season of Flash Flood in a Dry Land
(p. 95) / Craig Childs
The mechanisms of water are unbearably complex. A tension is created between the resistance of stone and the erosional power of water. This shape that remains – a long, narrow mansion full of dark walkways and parlors – is a geomorphological search for resolution. I am here seeking resolution as well. I struggle to find a balance between darkness and hope…
It is hard to make sense of it because I live in a human world where things are labeled either good or bad. That this canyon and its floods are neither does not sit will with this way of thinking.

Considerations During Construction
• Well Hydraulics / Pump and Well
Maintenance Problems
• Localized Pumping / Well Density
• Geologic Complexities
• Effects of Drought
• Regional Water Level Trends
![Page 27: Originally Presented to - Bernalillo County · The Desert Cries – A Season of Flash Flood in a Dry Land (p. 95) / Craig Childs The mechanisms of water are unbearably complex. A](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042420/5f37f6189419d20cf74d046b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
So What Can I Do?
• Conserve, Conserve, Conserve
• Keep your well and septic tank in good
operating conditions
• Practice Green (Energy = Water)
• Know about your well – water levels,
depth, capacity
• Be Active in Community Planning

Existing County Ordinance –
Minor Subdivisions, Sec 74-97 Handled through BCEH Review
– One well log from within one mile in
representative geologic conditions
– Statement of “estimated yield in gpm”
– “Where certain geologic conditions exist…”
– No requirements for
• Impact on neighboring wells
• No minimum spacing requirements
• “First in time” rights protection (misconception)
• Detailed hydrogeologic reports
