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.
New Mexico’s water problems are not chronic conditions to be managed incrementally. They are acute crises, unfolding simultaneously across the state, with immediate water supply, public welfare, legal, and financial consequences. State elected leadership's lack of political will to confront and manage them is a fundamental, existential failure.
