Question

What did the water code of 1907 claim?

Answer 1

Over 100 years ago, in 1907, the Territorial Legislature of New Mexico passed New Mexico’s Territorial Water Code. This visionary law assigned to courts the task of adjudicating New Mexico’s water rights, and created the office of the Territorial Engineer to have general supervision over the measurement, appropriation and distribution of New Mexico’s water.
