America's Most Endangered Rivers® of 2023 - Rio Gallinas

New Mexico’s waterways are among the most vulnerable in the United States. The Rio Gallinas is the poster child for the adverse impacts—both ecological and cultural — of climate change on Southwestern watersheds. The river provides water for Las Vegas, New Mexico, and for the traditional acequia irrigation system. Drinking water, farming, and overall watershed functionality are all threatened by climate change and outdated forest management practices. Furthermore, without a good connection to its floodplain and a loss of wetlands, the Rio Gallinas is less able to naturally store the water needed to maintain flows during periods of drought. In the aftermath of the largest fire in New Mexico’s history, the multiple state and federal agencies charged with managing the Rio Gallinas watershed will determine the river’s fate. It’s essential that their work includes local communities’ input and updated forest management protocols. Take Action for the Rio Gallinas Here: https://act.americanrivers.org/page/5...
