A, Water from the San Juan-Chama diversion will be purified and filtered for drinking water

The correct answer is A. Water from the San Juan-Chama diversion will be purified and filtered for drinking water.

Explanation:

San Juan-Chama Drinking Water Project is a project that aims at providing clean and purified water to the citizens of Alburqueque in New Mexico and nearby areas, which is part of other strategies that began in 1997. In the case of this project, the strategy was completed in 2008 and involved diverting part of the water from the Rio Grande that crosses the city of Albuquerque and specifically from a river diversion called San Juan - Chama and making this water safe to drink by purifying and filtering it in a water treatment plant. Considering this, it can be concluded the founding principle behind the creation of the San Juan-Chama Drinking Water Project was to purify and filter the water from the San Juan-Chama diversion for drinking water for the city of Albuquerque (Option A).
