Join us for “New Mexico Rural Water Perspectives,” a workshop featuring three experts on rural water challenges. The 2022 NM Water Policy Task Force Report highlights critical recommendations to address the safety and security of drinking water supplies and the proper operation of wastewater systems in rural New Mexico. Our panelists will provide insights into how the state and others are responding to these challenges and what actions are needed to ensure a sustainable drinking water supply for rural New Mexicans.
Groundwater supplies more than half of New Mexico’s water, yet pumping continues to exceed recharge almost everywhere. A new statewide groundwater report explains the risks, the data gaps, and why real management—not paper administration—must no longer be delayed.
