Water Rights

At an annual meeting in Las Vegas, Colorado River policymakers said new rules may be a "messy compromise."

A new water institute will help provide resources and training opportunities to tribal nations to advocate for their own water rights.

Ohkay Owingeh Governor Larry Phillips said that after six decades of litigation, the settlement will secure water for the Pueblo’s current and future needs.

The ruling was a blow to a place where nearly a third of people don't have clean, reliable water access, but the legal opinions left open avenues for litigation.

Cuts to water use along the Colorado River could be spread evenly across some southwestern states, or follow the more than a century-old priority system that currently governs water management. Those are two alternatives federal officials are considering to keep hydropower generation going at the nation’s largest reservoirs according to a draft plan released Tuesday.

U.S. Senator Ben Ray Luján and Representative Melanie Stansbury were in Santa Fe Tuesday to address legislators. They both highlighted how they have helped the state at the federal level and urged lawmakers to work on those same issues at home.
