Join us for the next great presentation from State Engineer General Counsel Nat Chakeres about the Middle Rio Grande’s unrecognized water crisis. The Office of the State Engineer’s actions are needed to keep New Mexico out of another Texas lawsuit focused on the Middle Rio Grande, the river segment between the Los Alamos highway bridge and Elephant Butte. Don’t miss State Engineer General Counsel’s presentation, Carrots and Sticks for Achieving Rio Grande Compact Compliance, Part II.
2025 was a difficult and revealing year for New Mexico’s water. From growing Rio Grande Compact risk to groundwater overuse, aridification, and legislative inaction, the year clarified why sustained, informed water advocacy is essential to protect the state’s future.
