As drought conditions worsen across the Southwest due to climate change, understanding agricultural water usage has become increasingly important.
Researchers at The University of New Mexico are focusing on how thousands of small farms influence water demand in one of New Mexico's vital river systems.
This research aims to shed light on the collective impact of these farms and inform future water management strategies in a water-stressed region.
