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.
As a new year begins, New Mexico’s water challenges are clear, but solutions remain unsettled. Discussions are behind closed doors. Political will, Rio Grande Compact compliance, statutory authority, agency priorities and capacity, and budget choices together frame the current state of the State’s water and the choices now facing New Mexico.
