Strategy Description from Chapter 10.2 of 2004 Plan
Y 5 1 The State Engineer should declare all waters in the state,
regardless of depth and quality, so as to enable proper
administration and protection of all of the waters in the state.
Y 4 4 This plan recommends that school curricula and projects be
developed to teach children the importance and value of water
in the region. Especially important are issues of water
conservation, where water comes from, and cultural values
associated with water.
Y 4 4 Establish region-wide and local public education programs to
encourage a more complete awareness of the full range of
water related subjects among the citizenry, and to enhance
voluntary water conservation programs recommended
elsewhere in this section.
2015 Steering Committee Comments
This Recommendation was implemented by the OSE
after 2004.
ABQ and Rio Rancho have good educational programs,
but more needed in other communities.
See R9-1.
