The existing pond liner had developed a significant leak, so in 2022 a major project was undertaken to replace it. This meant removing the endangered wildlife and draining it. Hopefully, the new one will provide years of good service. In addition to that activity, the border wall and road work was done in the area in recent years, which has meant flood control measures have been ongoing due to surface changes. It was good to see the spring flow was similar to last time I was there (2017), and didn't seem to be adversely affected by all the activity. There was some truck traffic encountered, as work continued on road repairs following our wet winter period. Note: the road from Highway 85 to Quitobaquito was fine, the repairs were past that point in more remote areas. This really is an amazing oasis in the middle of some pretty parched country!
