This grant is for modifying an existing agreement concerning the Environmental Water Rights Transactions Program on the Rio Grande, specifically targeting the Canalization Reach from Caballo Dam south to the New Mexico State line.

The core objective of this project is to strategically purchase vital water rights, dedicating them to essential wildlife and habitat restoration efforts along the Rio Grande in southern New Mexico. This initiative promises substantial public benefits by making water available for native habitat restoration, directly aiding endangered species, improving the comprehensive management of wetland and riparian areas, and fostering robust, healthy ecosystems.
