Summary
The New Mexico Drought Preparedness Act of 2015 aims to improve water management and conservation across the state’s river basins to combat the effects of long-term drought. The bill authorizes federal funding for irrigation districts to install water-tracking technology and provides financial assistance to farmers for conservation projects that protect water supplies and wildlife habitats. Additionally, it directs the government to study and adjust how local dams and reservoirs are operated to ensure more reliable water delivery for both agricultural use and the health of river ecosystems.
