Survey shows New Mexicans don’t always agree on water solutions
Water is becoming less reliable in some areas along the Colorado River, and a new survey shows that not everyone is on the same page when it comes to how to deal with shortages. The Western Landowners Alliance surveyed over 1,000 people along the Colorado River basin, including New Mexicans. The results show a majority of those surveyed were very concerned about new constraints on their water use. Many in the basin area are already adjusting their water use practices to better conserve water, the survey shows. But New Mexicans are split on adopting additional measures in response to a water shortage.
