The goal of the Water Data Initiative (WDI) is to improve how we share, integrate, and manage water data in New Mexico. One way to work towards this broad goal is to focus on regional projects with specific data needs, providing opportunities to learn and improve our data infrastructure. The New Mexico Water Data Initiative relies on focused projects to advance our mission, while also helping agencies in New Mexico make their water data more available. Our current projects, listed below, illustrate diverse stakeholder needs, and the value of collaboration in sharing water data for New Mexico.
