ALBUQUERQUE (AP) - The city of Albuquerque has dropped its protest against Santa Fe�s plans to build a water diversion project on the Rio Grande.

City officials filed the protest last year.

They said they wanted to make sure water Santa Fe would draw from the project didn�t include 1,600 acre-feet of river water Albuquerque leases to a gated Santa Fe luxury community.

Santa Fe�s diversion project permit will now specify that it doesn�t include any San Juan-Chama diversion water owned by the city of Albuquerque.

The withdrawal of the protest should clear the way for Santa Fe to move ahead with its project.
