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 water strategy faces criticism for its costly, ineffective approach and mismanagement of resources, akin to Dubai's expensive desalination processes. The article advocates for a shift towards scientifically informed, economically viable water governance to secure a sustainable future for the state.
