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.
This article documents an arduous pilgrimage across New Mexico undertaken to highlight the cumulative impacts of oil and gas development—carbon emissions, air pollution, contaminated water, and damaged landscapes—and the risks these pose to communities and future generations.
