Plan. Conserve. Thrive.
Like many of our neighbors, New Mexico has a challenge ahead. But our desert climate is nothing new. Over our history, we have and will continue finding ways to adapt and sustain in the face of water shortages. Now is the time to put our knowledge into action, reducing use and planning ahead. It is a big task — and one that requires all of us.

Taking Action Together.
New Mexico faces intensifying water shortages due to climate change and other factors. These shortages will intensify in the coming decades. The evidence suggests that available water supplies in New Mexico will decline by 25-30% (and possibly more) in the coming decades, while demands are expected to grow.
But our desert climate is nothing new. Over our history, we have and will continue to find ways to adapt and sustain in the face of water shortages. Now is the time to put our knowledge into action, reducing use and planning ahead.
