Protect New Mexico’s Water Future


Protect New Mexico’s Water Future
The Issue
New Mexico is facing a severe water crisis.
With projections showing up to a 25% reduction in available water over the next 50 years, we must act now to protect our freshwater resources and plan for long-term sustainability.
Each year, our state produces BILLIONS of gallons of water, water that could be treated and safely reused for industrial and non-drinking purposes like data center cooling, advanced manufacturing, concrete for wind turbine foundations, and geothermal energy (just to name a few!).
Right now, most of it goes to waste...or TEXAS!!!
That’s why the WATR Alliance is asking the state to adopt clear, science-based rules to safely reuse this water. Their proposal includes strict monitoring, safety standards, and protections to ensure it’s done right.
This is about protecting our freshwater, supporting rural communities, and preparing for a drier future by creating a new supply to meet our water needs. But we need public support to move it forward.
Don’t let this opportunity slip away. Sign the petition today and be part of the solution.
Every voice matters. Every drop counts.
