Join us to see groundwater in a different light. New Mexicans depend more on groundwater than residents of any other state. Despite groundwater’s importance to New Mexico’s economy, communities, agriculture, and ecosystems, proactive management of groundwater in the state is the exception, rather than the rule. Learn why and how we must be more proactive and maintain and manage our aquifers and groundwater for sustained use, and learn about how groundwater management is evolving across the West. Bring any and all questions about groundwater, and let’s have a lively discussion about this hidden and “magical” resource.
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.
