A discussion on unconventional water sources with Dr. Bruce Thomson, a UNM professor who teaches a wide range of environmental engineering courses. Bruce discussed issues related to the quality of water New Mexico is using and considering for future use and whether any of these unconventional water sources are viable and sustainable.
From acequias to groundwater-dependent communities across the state, New Mexicans are living the consequences of the state's approach to water governance. To meet New Mexicans' diverse water needs, New Mexico must decentralize and democratize how it manages its most scarce and vital resource: water.
