Excerpt from New Mexico Historical Review, Vol. 39

Title to ownership of land and use of water resources is a problem that plagues many southwestern communities that date their founding from Spanish colonial times. When litigation concerning property or water rights occurs, these communities have to take recourse to Spanish colonial laws and to official reports and instruments of founding that are often housed in the Mexican or Spanish archives. Such was the case in 1959 when the City of Albuquerque became involved in a dispute with the State Engineer over the use of waters in the Rio Grande basin of the Albuquerque area.

The City of Albuquerque based its case on the fact that Spanish colonial pueblos were conceded by royal legislation all of the water necessary for their growth and development. Since the doctrine of pueblo water rights had been established by California courts and since Texans were employing a like doctrine, the lawyers for the City of Albuquerque also pursued the same legal and historical path. There were many problems involved.
