Residents of the State of New Mexico coming together to petition the State government establish a minimum water level at Elephant Butte lake -- a part of the New Mexico State Parks system . The lake was built as a reservoir for water holding, but developed into a recreational lake offering social and economic benefits to the surrounding area, including Truth or Consequences and establishing the City of Elephant Butte in recent years.  Many families have raised their kids on the waters of the Butte, being the only lake in the area to offer water skiing, boating, and award winning fishing!! Camping and exploring the area draws many visitors to the area and it has become the jewel of the desert .

But because of an agreement made many many years ago, the lake is depleted annually to meet some of the needs of downstream farmers.

A minimum water level needs to be establisted that will meet the needs of the many, not just the few. Join us in our work to have the Governor address the issues before there is no water left!!!
