What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

New Mexico released a 50-Year Water Action Plan on September 25, 2026, to address severe water shortages. The plan, which was released in January 2024 by Michelle Lujan Grisham, is built on three pillars: conserving existing water, developing new supplies, and defending water quality. The state is facing chronic shortages, evidenced by the Rio Grande going dry early this spring and low snowpack levels in the Rio Chama Basin.
