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.
New Mexico’s watersheds are in trouble. Fires, erosion, and climate change are damaging the forests, wetlands, and stream systems we depend on to store water and protect communities. Restoring these landscapes is essential to securing a resilient water future—but it will take bold investment, better coordination, and strong local support.
