A newly formed group called Rio Grande WAVES (Water Advocates for Vital Environmental Sustainability) will screen “Requiem for a River” at 6 p.m. June 26 at Domenici Hall, Room 106, 1305 Frenger St. on the New Mexico State University campus. The event is free and open to the public.

  Rio Grande WAVES hope is that “Requiem” will prompt a community conversation about how precious water resources in this basin are managed, as the state seeks public input on a roadmap for a revitalized regional water planning process across New Mexico. The New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission is hosting community work sessions pursuant to the 2023 Water Security Planning Act, and the Las Cruces session, known as a Regional Water Plan Open House, is expected to occur July 24, with an online feedback option available for those who can’t make it in person.
