Middle Rio Grande Endangered Species Act Collaborative Project

The Utton Center is working to provide assistance in establishing a water management plan for the Endangered Species Act Collaborative Program, a consortium of water interests in the Middle Rio Grande, to meet the needs of water users and improve the status of listed species in compliance with the Rio Grande Compact. The Utton Center has offered help in two areas, support of negotiations and coordination of a project to model water management alternatives. The modeling proposal has resulted in a Draft Report that is pending review by the Interim Steering Committee for the Program.
