A new gauge has just been installed to measure the amount of water in the ground in the hills of La Cienega – the rural community just south of Santa Fe. Residents have been clamoring for the gauge for decades, as they watched their unique spring-fed ditches, or Acequias, dwindle. As KSFR’s Deborah Martinez reports, the state-funded, water-measuring tool symbolizes the struggle of northern New Mexico’s communities to balance tradition and growth.
