Constructed Surface Flow Wetlands For Oil Refinery Wastewater Treatment In New Mexico, Jessica Bentley

Water Resources Professional Project Reports

In New Mexico, water is scarce, so a wastewater treatment alternative for NM oil refineries that allows for the beneficial reuse of water is of interest. Currently, conventional treatment methods used at NM oil refineries result in the eventual evaporation or deep well injection of wastewater, consequently losing valuable water. Constructed surface flow (SF) wetlands are most commonly utilized for municipal wastewaters and are becoming an emergent treatment technology for industry, such as that of oil refining. A constructed SF wetland is designed for a hypothetical oil refinery in New Mexico considering wetland hydrology, wetland plants, wildlife habitat, and a …

Coordinated Water Resource Planning For The Sandia Basin - A Perspective Into Regional Water Planning Needs, Jeffrey L. Peterson

Water Resources Professional Project Reports

Regional water planning, a strategy adopted by the State Legislature to protect New Mexico's scant water resources from depletion and mismanagement, is evident in various water planning efforts that draw upon the cooperation of interested and vested stakeholders at the local level. Regional water-planning efforts that are currently underway can be found in the Estancia Basin, portions of the Rio Grande Basin, and the Tularosa Basin. This project utilized these water-planning efforts in order to assist in developing the basis of a regional water plan for the Sandia Basin.
