Summary

The committee gave a due-pass recommendation to Senate Memorial 22, which urges development of K–12 water-conservation curriculum to teach students about water value and stewardship; the memorial passed the committee.

Senate Memorial 22, urging K–12 water-conservation curriculum development, received a due-pass recommendation after sponsors argued that educating young people about water resources is critical to long-term stewardship.

The sponsor said the memorial was prompted by concerns raised at a recent water symposium and stated, “we need to work with our young people that they understand what we have, the value we have, the asset we have in New Mexico is water.” The memorial would encourage curriculum development and educational outreach to K–12 students to build awareness about water conservation and stewardship.

Committee members supported the concept and moved a due-pass recommendation. The committee recorded a yes vote and advanced the memorial for further consideration.
