Santa Fe Basin Water Association
|
|
The Santa Fe Basin Water Association (SFBWA) is a New Mexico non-profit 501(c)(4) organization of individuals, acequia associations, and water associations, incorporated to protect the rights and interests of existing water users in the Santa Fe County area.
|
|
|
|
SFBWA has four principal objectives
|
- To preserve the prior rights and resources of all existing water uses, including those in historic and traditional communities.
|
- To ensure the fair and deliberate allocation of water rights in accordance with state law.
|
- To align future growth and development with conservation, and sustainable use, of water supplies.
|
- To ensure that water policies and plans at all levels of government are founded on informed community input.
|
|
In support of these objectives, SFBWA provides a forum for many and diverse citizens to come together in common purpose to protect their water supplies. We seek to inform and influence our elected officials about water issues, and to act as a strong voice on water policy and planning in local government. We advocate for the water interests of our members and coordinate their efforts to resolve water problems. When the public interest is threatened, we mount legal and technical challenges to new water applications and seek to facilitate equitable resolution with all parties. We promote positions on responsible water use based on local knowledge and experience acquired from more than thirty years of proactive involvement.

SFBWA is an all volunteer organization, we have no paid staff.
