Background: During Phase I of the Futures
Project in 2009 and 2010, an
interdisciplinary team of experts developed a scenario called "The
Story," picturing a possible year 2025 future for the Middle Rio
Grande region, Sandoval, Bernalillo, and Valencia Counties. The team members also provided
brief technical justifications in their respective fields of expertise.
In
creating The Story, the expert team was asked to assume there would be
no new policy changes after 2010. The Story was presented at
the Fourteenth
Annual Water Assembly back in June 2010.
This Fifteenth Assembly starts Phase II of the Futures Project,
which seeks to have diverse community members and leaders create four
alternative 2025 scenarios, each scenario allowing for policy changes
after 2010.
