New Mexico’s climate is increasingly variable, hotter, and drier. How will New Mexico respond? What steps can we take to improve our resiliency? How can we adapt? Many changes will be expensive, some may increase competition between users and communities, and some problems may remain unsolvable. Despite the severity of changes to our climate, New Mexicans have an opportunity to analyze the most effective responses to climate change. The New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission (ISC) is leading a collaborative effort to develop the 50-Year Water Plan initiated by Governor Lujan Grisham. The New Mexico Water Dialogue has partnered with ISC in this effort. The first phase of the planning process was the “Leap Ahead” analysis, an assessment of current and future water resource conditions and risks. The next steps are to assess resilience and develop adaptation strategies. The ISC plans to present and seek input on the results from everyone attending the 2022 annual meeting of the New Mexico Water Dialogue. The plan will be finalized in the spring of 2022.

Please join us on January 12 and 13 for the New Mexico Water Dialogue’s 28th Annual Meeting: “An Unprecedented Water Crisis: A Time to Act” to participate in this effort and make your contribution to the development of New Mexico’s 50 year Water Plan and possible adaption strategies for an uncertain future.
