This was a second discussion with Bruce Thomson on New Mexico’s water resources. Back In May, Bruce discussed unconventional sources of water and their (un)sustainability. This August conversation focused on the conventional sources of water in New Mexico, how we use them, and how we can manage them for long-term sustainability
New Mexico’s watersheds are in trouble. Fires, erosion, and climate change are damaging the forests, wetlands, and stream systems we depend on to store water and protect communities. Restoring these landscapes is essential to securing a resilient water future—but it will take bold investment, better coordination, and strong local support.
