The US Fish and Wildlife Service’s San Andres National Wildlife Refuge (SANWR) in New Mexico is offering this grant to modify an existing agreement establishing the Rio Grande Water Rights Transactions Program. This initiative specifically targets the Canalization Reach of the Rio Grande, extending from Caballo Dam south to the New Mexico State line. The modification will facilitate financial assistance grant agreements with two local irrigation districts. The core objective is to acquire water rights, which will then be dedicated to wildlife and habitat restoration efforts along the Rio Grande in southern New Mexico. This project aims to benefit the public by ensuring water availability for native habitat restoration, supporting endangered species, enhancing the management of vital wetland and riparian habitats, and ultimately fostering healthier ecosystems.
