ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) The last three months have been very dry in New Mexico and it’s only going to get worse. That’s the word from forecasters with the National Weather Service and other climate experts in the state.
The Bernalillo County DA’s Office and the state’s Indian Affairs Department will combine efforts as part of a sub-unit specializing in cases of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives.
“Really the story is we had a dry year that is getting worse and worse as we move through this second La Niña,” said a senior hydrologist in the state.
