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 drought is evolving into long-term aridification and desertification, putting farms, cities, and water resources at growing risk. Immediate action in water management and regional cooperation is essential to protect agriculture, communities, and the state’s future.
