Description
The State of New Mexico brought suit in Chaves County to adjudicate water rights in the Rio Hondo, Rio Ruidoso and Rio Bonito stream systems, all tributaries of the Pecos River in the Pecos Valley Artesian Basin. Twice the matter was referred by the court to special masters and hearings were held in 1976 and 1981. Both special masters, after hearing relevant evidence, came to similar conclusions supporting the State Engineers allocation of water to defendants Forrest Niccum (Niccum) and the Hondo Ranch. The trial court upheld the findings and conclusions of the special masters. We affirm.
