A study that deals with importing water to the Pecos River basin and using this water without artificial recharging (Gisser, 1970) is compared with another study that deals with the problem of recharging imported water into the aquifer (Gisser and Mercado, 1972). The sensitivity of the demand for water function to changes in salinity constraints is explored, and the possibility of reducing natural discharge of water by lowering the evaporation rate of salt cedars is investigated.
