SANTA FE RIVER REHABILITATION, SANTA FE COUNTY, NEW MEXICO, USA ; GERALD Z. JACOBI, SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO
The Santa Fe River, the lifeblood of the City of Santa Fe for over 400 years, had been neglected and treated poorly: in 2007 it was declared the most endangered river in the US by American Rivers. In recent years the City, in a high desert environment, has put considerable effort and funds into rehabilitating the riparian and instream habitat of the River. City growth and demand for water from upstream reservoirs resulted in low to no seasonal flows to portions of the river. In the past 15 years, domestic water consumption decreased by 40% while the City continued to grow. This conservation effort allows the City to bypass up to 1,233,000 cubic meters of water per year as part of its long range water supply plan. Enhancement of the river and it's watershed include rock grade control structures, bank sloping, and planting of native riparian vegetation. These plus rain gardens (road cuts) and a river trail have made the system more aesthetically pleasing and environmentally resilient to extremes in runoff.
