Middle Rio Grande Water Crisis

Adult Ed, Oct 26, 9:45am

VIDEO. Join Gillian Gonda, board member of New Mexico Water Advocates, for a critical presentation on the Middle Rio Grande Water Crisis and the legal jeopardy facing New Mexico if we violate the Rio Grande Compact, which we are dangerously close to doing. We must take steps now and you can help. The presentation is in the McFarland Chapel and on Zoom.

This talk will explain how chronic overuse—driven by factors including unregulated groundwater pumping and the demands of large corporate entities—has resulted in a severe water delivery debt. Learn why our state is operating on borrowed water and borrowed time and is dangerously close to a legal violation that could cost millions and result in a loss of control over our water future. Discover the urgent, concrete steps and solutions New Mexico must implement now and what you can do to help.
