Description

Description

The project involves the funding and completion of 10 tribal water settlements, including six in New Mexico. These settlements aim to provide water access and certainty to Tribal and non-Tribal water users, avoid costly litigation, and support the United States' trust responsibility to Tribes. The settlements include agreements with the Pueblos of Acoma, Laguna, Jemez and Zia, the Navajo Nation, Zuni Tribe, and Ohkay Owingeh, covering tribal rights for the San José, Jemez, Chama, and Zuni rivers. The project also includes the Navajo-Gallup water project, which is the most expensive and faces funding challenges.
