FREE: Three Water Priorities for the 2025 Legislature (New Mexico Water Advocates Speakers Series)
Thursday, January 16th, 2025
6:30 PM to 8:00 PM MST
Join three professionals who worked as members of the 2022 NM Water Policy and Infrastructure Task Force to learn about the Water Security Agenda for the 2025 Legislature. The plain truth is the Legislature has, for years, neglected to adequately fund implementation of the laws it has passed and the programs it has started to increase the resilience of New Mexico’s overused and shrinking water supplies. Modernization of state water agencies, robust regional water security planning, and stopping illegal water overuse are essential steps toward improved water security for all New Mexico regions and communities.
Speakers:
· Ladona Clayton, Executive Director, Ogallala Land & Water Conservancy
· Mike Hamman, former New Mexico State Engineer
· Norm Gaume, President, New Mexico Water Advocates
