Gila San Francisco Water Settlement

Water really is the most precious resource today!  This is evident in the number of rules, regulations, court cases and legislation that are enacted, determined and passed every day.  Finding ways to reserve this greatest resource for future generations while supporting growth, agriculture and other needs is our greatest challenge.

Below we have links of interest including a link to the NM Office of the State Engineer for background information on the 2004 Arizona Water Settlements Act.  To the right you will see announcements about the various meetings for the AWSA.
