The
Water Assembly is a diverse, all-volunteer, non-profit grassroots organization
devoted to open, inclusive, and participatory process. This website contains information about upcoming
events and recent
activities, as well as an extensive archive. Use the links in the left margin to explore!  Our region includes three large watersheds -- the
Rio Puerco, Río Jemez and Middle Río Grande.
The Water
Assembly developed a Middle Rio Grande Regional Water Plan (RWP) for Sandoval,
Bernalillo, and Valencia
counties, with broad public and governmental participation and a sound
scientific foundation. The synopsis
provides a summary of the RWP. The Rio Puerco and Rio Jemez Subregional Plan
is included in Chapter 12
of the RWP.
The water plan indicates
that our annual water consumption averages 15% to 20% more than the renewable
supply. Details of the deficit are shown
in the Water
Budget (WA, 1999).
In 2004, the MRG water plan
was accepted by the New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission and 19 local
governments in the region.
Consider
helping with our current
projects to ensure that the water plan is implemented fully and
effectively. Contact
us to find out how.
