HI Kelly !! W ater: the source of life on our planet. It is the foundation of our cultures, our ecosystems, our economics, and our future. The dearth of water is thus a fundamental problem, and the issue of water one crucial to each of us, both individually and communally. The issue of water is especially complex in New Mexico. The legacy of Pueblo laws and Spanish land-grant water rights has collided with modern-day overpopulation, unplanned growth, fundamental needs, and economics, creating a tangled web we must strive to understand. The choices before us hold many uncertainties. Bringing together our knowledge and experience - scientific, economic, indigenous, ecological, personal - can provide an understanding of the big picture and the consequences of our actions, for both the immediate and the long-term future. The purpose of these pages is to support the integration of our information about water into wisdom about its uses and management. If you have suggestions, links, knowledge or comments, or would like to help us expand and maintain these pages as a community resource, please contact us.
