The Water Assembly is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization that was born in 1997.  (Our Policies and Procedures, Bylaws, Officers and Board of Directors).  Grass-roots based, the Assembly has always sought public participation in a variety of ways as well as sound scientific analysis. The Assembly’s purpose is to assure effective implementation of the Middle Rio Grande Regional Water Plan through an open, inclusive, and participatory process so as to achieve the common interests of the people and stakeholders of the region for a sustainable water future that balances water use with renewable supply in accordance with the stated goals of the Plan.  

The Water Assembly’s role is to encourage implementation of our plan so we can get a handle on the future. Our 1999 Water Budget revealed a deficit between the water we’re using and the water coming into our region. Our Regional Water Plan documents this shortfall and gives strategies to balance our Water Budget. Straight talk is necessary to implement our plan — as is straight action.
