The Leap Ahead Report, developed by the New Mexico Bureau of Geology & Mineral Resources, compiles, assesses, and integrates existing peer-reviewed published research, technical reports, and datasets relevant to the broad topic of changes to New Mexico’s climate over the next 50 years and resultant impacts on water resources. It represents the scientific foundation upon which the New Mexico 50-Year Water Plan has been developed. This section of the NM50YWP is an overview of the likely changes water resources New Mexico will experience between 2020 and 2070.
New Mexico's water future is drier and more variable.
