<div dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)"><strong>Climate change impacts in the Upper Rio Grande lecture:</strong> Dagmar Llewellyn of the Bureau of Reclamation (BoR) will present results from the recent Upper
Rio Grande Impacts Assessment, an activity of the West Wide Climate Risk Assessment, during a lecture <a>on Wednesday,
July 10, at <span class=""><span class="">7 p.m.</span></span></a> at
the New Mexico Museum of Natural History. The study, representing a two
year cooperative effort between BoR, Sandia’s Jesse Roach (6926), and
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, presents the potential risks and
impacts associated with
climate change to water supplies and demands in the Rio Grande Basin
above Caballo reservoir. Analysis suggests decreased basin inflows
coupled to increased evaporative demands will make it difficult for New
Mexico to meet downstream delivery obligations without
changes to current water operation policies. The talk is free of charge
and open to the public.</span></div>
