Reducing the demand on variable water sources and generating minimal waste
The City of Alamogordo, New Mexico (2010 Population: 30,403) is located in Otero County, approximately six miles from Holloman Air Force Base. The city is planning to install a 3 to 6 MGD desalination facility for the production of drinking water and must overcome significant challenges as outlined in their 40-year Water Development Plan (2005 - 2045). Such challenges include the need for new water supplies for a growing population, the region's dry climate (Annual Rainfall: 11.4 inches), and variability in available surface water.
