Albuquerque Drinking Water Overview

Population: ~565,000 | Source: San Juan-Chama Drinking Water Project and groundwater

Albuquerque transitioned from sole reliance on groundwater to a blend including surface water from the Rio Grande via the San Juan-Chama project. This shift helped address declining aquifer levels and naturally occurring arsenic in groundwater wells. PFAS contamination from Kirtland Air Force Base has affected groundwater in parts of the city, prompting military-funded remediation.
