50 Year Water Plan - Climate and Water Advisory Team Assessment and Data

Climate Change in New Mexico over the Next 50 Years: Impacts on Water Resources

This report is the Leap Ahead Analysis Assessment, which is a scientific report describing climate change impacts to water resources in New Mexico. It was prepared by a team of climate and water resources scientists convened by New Mexico Bureau of Geology & Mineral Resources (NMBGMR). This report will inform the development of the 50-Year Water Plan, in preparation by the New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission (NMISC).

This report is a separate document from the New Mexico 50-Year Water Plan.
