Our aquifers are the result of water seeping into the ground over thousands of years. If we pump out more than is recharged, we risk the aquifers running dry. That’s why we need to do what we can to conserve our limited resource.

In NM, chances are your water comes from underground💧

But our groundwater supply recharges very slowly. That’s why it’s more important than ever to protect this limited resource by only taking what you need.

Rivers don’t stop at state lines, so how do we share the water fairly? Water compacts are agreements we make with our neighboring states to ensure that we receive our share of the river’s water and leave enough for those downstream.
