Join us for a must-attend briefing for Middle Rio Grande residents. Cumulative under deliveries to Elephant Butte Reservoir are approaching the Rio Grande Compact limit. That makes this region the center of a potential new Compact violation.
State Engineer General Counsel Nat Chakeres and Interstate Stream Commission Director Hannah Riseley-White will present the State’s plans to increase deliveries and prevent that outcome. Topics include why State action is required, a groundwater-metering order, which wells will be exempted, and other measures to reduce Middle Rio Grande depletions and get more water to Elephant Butte Reservoir.
Hear directly from the State Engineer’s top advisors. Learn what actions are planned that could affect local water use and get your your questions answered.
