New Mexico Acequia Assn is a nonprofit organization operating within the civic and social sector, focused on managing and supporting community-based water governance in New Mexico. Based in Santa Fe, the organization works with local acequia communities to address water management needs and preserve cultural and agricultural practices connected to traditional irrigation systems. Its activities are positioned to assist stakeholders in rural and agricultural regions by developing tools and processes that support informed water decisions and resource management. The organization maintains a small operational footprint and collaborates with partners to advance its mission in the region. In recent years, the New Mexico Acequia Assn has engaged in collaborative efforts that expand its impact, including a partnership with Farmers Mutual Insurance to develop water budget modeling capabilities and a coordination with Western Sky Community Care to support water restoration efforts following wildfire-impacted areas. These developments indicate a role that combines community advocacy with practical solutions for water management and resilience. The organization operates from Santa Fe, New Mexico, and serves the broader acequia network within the state.
