A few thoughts from John Fleck, a writer of journalism and other things, living in New Mexico

Oh, he meant those junior wells

At a water board meeting this afternoon, the attorney mentioned “Junior Wells”. My mind wandered:

Turns out that wasn’t what he meant:

During litigation involving one of the largest water plans developed in recent years, it was discovered that about 60,000 acre feet per year were being taken by junior wells from the South Platte while senior rights were short of water.

Oh, that junior wells.
