A New Mexico husband/wife team proposes to revitalise Santa Fe's dried-up waterway - and fund it through land values.
The Santa Fe River that Helen and Newton Harrison knew when they taught at the University of New Mexico in the 1960s was much different than the one that exists today.
To get it back, the Harrisons and a collaborating engineer propose that the river bed be raised by installing some 400 sediment-accumulating small dams along the river.
The project would cost about $4 million, far less than the increased land values such an effort would inspire, Newton Harrison said.
