The Water Advocates seek to be a catalyst that will transform statewide water governance policy enabling New Mexico’s successful adaptation to increasing aridity and water scarcity.

We envision a balanced water future for New Mexico in which we equitably adapt to climate change and are stewards of our water, thereby preserving our diverse cultures, economy, food production, and natural ecosystems.
