This month we explore issues on the topics of whether New Mexico is responsible for evaporation losses when storing and accounting for water earmarked for Texas under the Pecos River Compact, whether a groundwater marketer and its municipal partners will face a permit protest from a neighboring pecan farm several years after the initial permit decision or when the permit is automatically renewed and the ability of an existing utility to protect its service area (CCN) from curtailment.

Law+Water. This occasional feature will present a range of views on Texas water law, federal legal developments that could impact Texas, and significant water law issues in those bordering states and Mexico with whom we share watersheds that could impact Texas.
