The state engineer has paused new commercial groundwater appropriations in three basins of southeast New Mexico to study the aquifer. (Eddie Moore/Albuquerque Journal) State Engineer John D’Antonio has restricted new groundwater permits in three basins of far southeastern New Mexico to study the impact of more wells on regional aquifers.

After hot debate, county backs anti-diversion bill Written by Geoffrey Plant on March 15, 2021 Copious time was again spent on the Gila River diversion group’s fate at last week’s regular meeting of the Grant County Commission.

Andrea Romero, would require the State Engineer to conduct analyses on climate change-related impacts to the state’s water resources when approving or denying permits. The bill mandates the OSE to develop climate change impact rules based on the best available science to inform permit approvals.  Dr. David Gutzler, a climate science expert and professor at UNM, speaking on behalf of the bill, pointed to a water resources study being conducted by the Interstate Stream Commission.
