More info needed

"The Acequia Madre continues to flow annually..."

Does it really? I would like to believe it continues to irrigate alfalfa, orchards, etc., but the modern photos seem to show an empty ditch. The article could be improved by stating how many acre-feet of water it delivers each year.

And does it really flow out of the Los Cerros Reservoir? The source of the Acequia Madre appears to be here:

It just comes out of the Santa Fe River. I sure don't see a reservoir at that location. 2601:281:D87C:11C0:6410:CE66:6D6F:A0D3 (talk) 08:13, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
