A major need exists to train the next generation of water resource researchers, educators, and managers to address these challenges. This program has been developed at NMSU by a team of water experts and approved by the Governor of New Mexico in November 2011. Currently, major participating academic departments include Agricultural economics and agricultural business, Animal and Range Science, Civil Engineering, Geography, and Plant and Environmental Sciences.
