AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoFlood Threat: An atmospheric river is bringing heavy rain and possible severe storms to New Mexico, with flooding risks spreading from the west toward central and eastern communities. A woman, her dog and camper were rescued after floodwater swept through a Socorro-area arroyo. Acequia Damage: Rio Arriba County declared an emergency after September flooding damaged irrigation infrastructure. Silt at a Rio Chama ditch headgate will cost tens of thousands of dollars to clear, adding to the growing burden on acequia leaders facing climate-driven extremes. Drought and Water: Recent storms raised Conchas Lake, but nearly all of New Mexico remains dry; heavy irrigation use had pushed the lake down nearly 15 feet over the summer. A separate proposal would move 9.7 billion gallons of water a year to the Estancia Basin. Data Center Impacts: Oracle’s Project Jupiter air-quality permit hearing is set for early December as challenges to the project continue.
