State engineer seeks limit on domestic wells in New Mexico
State Engineer Tom Turney says New Mexico must curb domestic well pumping in critical areas to uphold interstate water obligations. Gov Johnson backs legislation to give the office power to deny new domestic well permits where no unappropriated groundwater exists or where use could affect interstate compact obligations. Wilfred Gutierrez supports the move but urges a comprehensive water study to assess state resources and future growth.
