Think Water - Act Now!
New Mexico Must Face Increasing Aridity
New Mexican's Water Supplies are at Risk

SB337 Water Security Planning Act Passes!
The bill, as passed, is a huge step forward. It passed the Senate, the House, and three committees, with unanimous votes at each step.
This new regional water planning bill was intended to help New Mexican's prepare for increased water scarcity due to climate change impacts on our water that are already baked-in. With passage and the Governor's signature, it will soon be state law.
We understand the essential purposes of water planning. We now have the state law authorization to plan for the 21st century, including the needs of future generations. We have much work to do.
