Non-Indians in northern New Mexico voiced their opposition to a settlement in a long-running water rights case involving four tribes.
Non-Indian water users are objecting to provisions that call for them to give up their wells. The settlement would create a regional water system instead for non-Indians and the the pueblos of Pojoaque, Tesuque, Namb� and San Ildefonso.
The tribes have senior water rights in the region. The Aamodt case, named for the first defendant, has been in the courts for more than 30 years.
