Protects the Pecos River watershed through land and water management in New Mexico and Texas.
The problem
The Pecos watershed faces threats from water depletion, environmental degradation, and competing water demands between states and users.
The proposal
Establishes protections and coordination for managing lands and water resources in the Pecos watershed region across state lines.
The impact
Affects New Mexico and Texas residents, farmers, water users, environmental groups, and local communities dependent on Pecos River resources.
Creates a framework to manage and preserve water in the Pecos watershed for long-term use. This helps ensure reliable water supplies for agriculture, cities, and ecosystems across the region.
Encourages New Mexico and Texas to work together on shared water problems. Better coordination between states can reduce conflicts and lead to more effective solutions.
Protects natural habitats and ecosystems in the watershed. This preserves wildlife and plant species that depend on the Pecos River ecosystem.
Watershed protections could restrict how much water farmers and businesses can use. This might reduce agricultural productivity or increase costs for water-dependent industries.
Creating new management systems and coordination requires government spending. Taxpayers may bear costs for enforcement and administration of watershed protections.
Despite cooperation efforts, Texas and New Mexico may disagree on water distribution. Disputes could arise over who gets priority access to limited water supplies.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself.
