Home - 69th Annual New Mexico Water Conference

Join us November 4-6, 2024, for the New Mexico Water Resources Research Institute 69^th Annual New Mexico Water Conference, Working for Our Water Future.

We welcome students, young professionals, water experts, stakeholders, academics, and water professionals from pueblos, tribes, and nations all across the state to learn more about the pressing water issues facing New Mexicans across the state's diverse hydrological landscape. This year’s conference will be held in a hybrid format in Pojoaque at the Buffalo Thunder Hilton Resort, and online via Zoom.

An optional pre-conference field trip will take place on Monday, November 4, the day before the conference begins, in which the City of Santa Fe Water Division will welcome participants to tour the Buckman Direct Diversion and its associated water treatment plant. That evening, following the field trip there will be a welcome reception held at the Buffalo Thunder Resort open to all registrants.

We have an informative day-and-a-half program scheduled, which will include two multi-track sessions to allow more presenters to share their work and insightful perspectives, allowing attendees more choices to choose from.

This year's conference will also feature our in-person poster session. The session provides a perfect opportunity to exchange information, showcase a wide variety of water projects, and update colleagues on water research being conducted around the state. The 90-minute session after presentations on Tuesday, November 5, will allow students, faculty, agencies, staff, and private entities to network with colleagues from throughout the state and region, providing opportunities for collaboration. Those interested in presenting a poster should submit an abstract by October 10.

In-person conference registration includes access to the full day-and-a-half program, breakfast on both conference days and lunch on November 5, and access to the poster session.
