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.
From acequias to groundwater-dependent communities across the state, New Mexicans are living the consequences of the state's approach to water governance. To meet New Mexicans' diverse water needs, New Mexico must decentralize and democratize how it manages its most scarce and vital resource: water.
