Despite efforts, NM’s Rio Grande water debt grows
New Mexico now owes 125,000 to 130,000 acre feet of water to Texas under the Rio Grande Compact, according to Interstate Stream Commission Director Rolf Schmidt-Peterson. Despite the efforts to increase water deliveries to Elephant Butte Reservoir in 2021, the state still fell short by 31,000 acre-feet, he said on Wednesday, during an Interstate Stream Commission meeting about this water debt. Rolf Schmidt-Peterson’s report comes after farmers in the middle valley were paid to let their acreage go fallow and the irrigation season was shortened in 2020 and 2021.
