The Middle Rio Grande Flow Restoration Project partners with the New Mexico state office of the National Audubon Society to implement a first of its kind project that includes a unique partnership with Native American Pueblos and water agencies to convey and deliver much needed flows to chronically depleted areas of the Middle Rio Grande River in New Mexico. The project demonstrates a new strategy and pathway to lease, donate, and deliver water where it’s needed to benefit the river and protect and restore habitats for imperiled species. In 2016 the project aims to deliver nearly 800 acre feet of water – half of that water provided through partnership with Pueblos – to mitigate river drying and support habitat restoration and native species.
