Closing date: 5:00 p.m., November 28, 2012
The New Mexico Water Resources Research Institute (NM WRRI) announces availability of U.S. Geological Survey 104B grant funds. These funds are made available through the Water Research Act to support research that improves management of the waters of New Mexico. For Fiscal Year 2013, only partial funding is available due to the current federal budget continuing resolution. NM WRRI expects to fund one $30,000 grant with 104B funds in FY 2013.
In the spring of 2013, a separate NM WRRI RFP is anticipated contingent on New Mexico state funding allocations for FY14 and will fund an additional one to four $25,000 seed grants.

Water Scarcity to be topic of 57th annual New Mexico Water Conference at NMSU
Water scarcity to be topic of 57th annual New Mexico Water Conference at NMSU. While much attention has been paid of late to the serious short-term drought situation facing farmers in the American Midwest, New Mexico continues to be immersed in the worst two-year drought period in decades.
In this context, it is timely that the New Mexico Water Resources Research Institute will present the 57th annual New Mexico Water Conference, “Hard Choices: Adapting Policy and Management to Water Scarcity.”
