Old ways making way for new
Sandia National Laboratories

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — “They say water is life, and that couldn’t be truer,” said Anne Francis, who has spent her life on the Navajo Nation, watching how water sustains the land, the crops and the herds of cattle on her family ranch. But life on the Navajo Nation is hard. The vast landscape is dotted with old-fashioned windmills, and many places are untouched by modern conveniences like electricity. A new technology, developed in partnership with Sandia National Laboratories and New Mexico State University, is transforming that struggle into a sustainable solution.
