For more than 20 years, Laura Paskus has written and produced stories about New Mexico’s rivers, including the Middle Rio Grande. Join us for a presentation and conversation about what she’s learned along the way — not just about climate change and water challenges, but about love, political courage, and connection.
The Middle Rio Grande through Albuquerque dried for 50 days last summer — and this year it could happen even earlier. With reservoirs at historic lows and 85% of New Mexico's Rio Grande water use deemed unsustainable, water managers and advocates say the region faces not a temporary drought but permanent aridification.
