Why should we all care when groundwater levels are dropping anyplace in New Mexico?

Tonight, we check back in with hydrogeologist Phillip Rust to learn about what's happening with groundwater levels in the East Mountains near Albuquerque. We first met Rust in 2017 when we covered domestic wells running dry in that area. In this web extra, we talk about why we should all care when groundwater levels are dropping anyplace in New Mexico.
