The Taos Valley in northern New Mexico contains the largest and most elaborate acequia (community irrigation ditch) system in New Mexico. Rodríguez (anthropology, U. of New Mexico) examines two areas of acequia-related activity--the traditional reparto de aguas (division of waters) and the religious rituals that sanctify agriculture and place--in an exploration of the relationship between water sharing, belief, and attachment to place in the Taos Valley. The text offers an alternative approach to water sharing for communities around the world facing severe and growing water scarcity. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
