Conference Wrap-Up
By Danielle Supercinski
The fifth annual Rio Grande Basin Initiatives (RGBI) Conference was held March 28-30, 2006, in Ruidoso, NM. The week began with welcoming talks from project and university administrators and an overview of New Mexico region water issues. The first day moved quickly into individual task group and county program presentations, which continued throughout most of the conference. The week ended with other project reports from the U.S. Geological Survey, New Mexico Water Resources Research Institute, an overview of the River Systems Institute and Aquatic Station at Texas State University, and closed with wrap-up discussions regarding future collaborations.
RGBI project participants from New Mexico State University (NMSU) and Texas A&M University System (TAMUS) were in attendance along with participants of other Rio Grande projects from Texas State University System and the University of Texas.
There were 146 registrants.
