- This week on New Mexico in Focus, we revisit several previously aired stories about water in New Mexico.
Earlier this year, the Water Quality Control Commission decided to revisit how and where fracking wastewater can be used in New Mexico. We hear from advocates for and against the proposal. In June, Capital and Main journalist and In Focus correspondent Jerry Redfern sat down with Matthias Sayer, an attorney with the Water, Access, Treatment and Reuse Alliance (WATR Alliance), and asked whether there’s science to back up using it safely. Then in an interview that first aired in May, Tannis Fox, a senior attorney with the Western Environmental Law Centers, tells Host Nash Jones why she opposes letting the fracking wastewater genie out of the bottle and what's to come in the rulemaking process.
This summer, the U.S. Supreme Court settled a 13-year water rights dispute over access to the lower Rio Grande. Longtime reporter Danielle Prokop has spent years fo...

The Northeastern Arizona Water Rights Settlement Act, if approved by Congress, would provide much-needed water for the Navajo Nation, as well as the Hopi and San Juan Southern Paiute tribes. A provision with the deal has received pushback from some negotiators at the table, questioning whether the Navajo Nation should be allowed to lease some of its water to nearby cities outside of its reservation. KUNM Reporter Jeanette DeDios speaks with Heather Tanana, an assistant law professor at the University of Denver, about the settlement's many details and discusses how life-changing this deal would be if it went through.
