El Rito Ecological Analysis: Sustainability for Current and Future Land Uses

NM EPSCoR RII3 is designed to enhance research competitiveness through investment in three strategic areas: (1) critical Research Infrastructure, (2) Cyberinfrastructure, and (3) Human Infrastructure. These investments will help establish NM as a laboratory for climate change research, and as a model for science‐based public policy. The multi‐disciplinary, multi‐scale effort is envisioned to transform climate change science and policymaking in NM by providing the tools required for quantitative, science‐driven discussion of difficult water policy options facing the State in the 21st Century. This document is a final project report for the El Rito Watershed Ecological Analysis study.
