The Time is Now for the Gila River
Protecting New Mexico's Last Free-flowing River
7 PM, Wednesday February 5
UNM LA Building 2, Room 220

The threats to the Gila River are reaching a critical point. The New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission is under deadline to decide and communicate by December 2014 its decision to the Secretary of the Interior on whether to construct a diversion structure, pipeline and off-stream storage reservoir. This 2014 NM State Legislative Session, beginning January 21st, is the last opportunity for the state legislature to evaluate and weigh in on the diversion and non-diversion alternatives before the New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission makes its final decision.
