Description A Professional Project submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Water Resources, Water Resources Program, University of New Mexico. In 2004, a study by S.S. Papadopoulos determined that riparian evapotranspiration (ET) along the Middle Rio Grande (MRG) accounts for 37% of the total water budget in this stretch of the river. Transferring important findings such as this to middle school age students presents both a challenge and an opportunity to provide authentic research based information to tomorrow’s water managers and inspire their curiosity regarding water issues in New Mexico. This Professional Project presents two...
