An in-depth study of centuries-old community acequia systems in northern New Mexico reveals why they have been resilient.
Since 2010, researchers from New Mexico State University, University of New Mexico, and Sandia National Laboratory have studied hydrology and cultural aspects of the of El Rito, Rio Hondo and Alcalde acequia systems.
“We wanted to understand the many facets involved in the operation of these systems and what contributes to their resiliency, not just the hydrology,” said Sam Fernald, professor in NMSU’s Department of Animal and Range Sciences. “I think we found out some of those, including the importance of the culture of the commun
An in-depth study of centuries-old community acequia systems in northern New Mexico reveals why they have been resilient. Sam Fernald, New Mexico State University professor in the Extension animal sciences and natural resources department, reviews data while studying the Rio Hondo acequia. Fernald was the principal investigator in a 10-year study of three acequia systems in northern New Mexico.

Now, I can partake in their training regimen executed in the mountains of Southern Arizona. Staying true to their motto: One Hill At A Time, these guys will be training in the same hills they patrol during operations. Years ago, I learned of AZBR while watching a documentary about drug cartels south of the border. Now, I
