Strategy Description from Chapter 10.2 of 2004 Plan
S 1 3 • Develop a sustainable and coordinated growth management
plan for adoption and implementation by local governments in
the middle Rio Grande region in order to: 1) reduce water
consumption; 2) minimize impact on water resources; 3)
encourage conservation-oriented economic development and
4) ensure adequate water supplies for any proposed
development. Local governments and/or the state Legislature
should establish a review process so that each new industrial,
commercial, residential and municipal development be
reviewed to ensure ongoing availability of adequate water
supplies, including recognition of cumulative impacts on water.
• Establish, assess and collect development impact fees that
include the marginal full cost of extending the water service
area and the marginal full cost to purchase and transfer
associated water rights.
