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.
Public comments on the Interstate Stream Commission’s proposed water planning rules reveal an unusual consensus across New Mexico — scientists, farmers, acequias, counties, and conservationists all say the rules fall short. The process the ISC will use to adopt them may prove just as flawed.
