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 top water officials presented honestly at the March 19 Water Advocates workshop — acknowledging a compact debt of -132,000 acre-feet, a violation threshold three years away, and a metering order that is overdue. We are grateful for their candor. We are not yet reassured by their plan.
