Live, Learn and Thrive
RGBI Team Award presented at NMSU ceremony
B. L. Harris, Associate Director of the Texas Water Resources Institute and administrator of the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station and Texas Cooperative Extension Rio Grande Basin Irrigation Conservation Initiative, received the Team Award from New Mexico State University on April 21, 2005, during the NMSU Live, Learn and Thrive awards convocation.
The Rio Grande Basin Initiative is a federally funded effort involving Experiment Station researchers and Extension educators from both Texas and New Mexico. The project partners with a number of other state and federal agencies to enhance the water conservation programs.
Harris, along with Craig Runyan, coordinator for NMSU project efforts, and other New Mexico participants, received this award for demonstrating the power of team action in achieving significant water savings in agricultural irrigation and in addressing community water needs. Once again collaboration and working together has paid off.
