New Mexico is faced with, but has not faced up to
current and future water resource limitations

New Mexicans' current and future water supplies are at risk

New Mexican voters from across the state are concerned about water resources.

New polling shows seventy-five percent of likely voters agree we need to act now to ensure that future generations have an adequate water supply.

The Water Advocates are focused on our need to adapt to our arid future.  New Mexicans need to plan how we and future generations can best adapt to a more arid future.  Toward this end, we have adopted an Advocacy Platform.

We advocate for evidence-based, robust regional water planning to show what we must do, region by region, to improve regional water supply and water users resilience.  We see the increasing aridity. We know what is coming.   What will we do to adapt?

The strategically important actions presented and discussed at the Water Advocates January 2022 conference are combined as a new Water Advocates Project: 2022-2023 Strategic Water Initiative.

The Water Advocates invite your participation.  Please sign-up for our Newsletter at the bottom of this page.
