This bill proposes to declare February 11, 2025, as "Acequia Day" in the House of Representatives of New Mexico. The resolution highlights the historical and cultural significance of acequias, which are traditional irrigation systems that have supported local agriculture and water-sharing customs for generations. It emphasizes the role of acequias in sustaining the livelihoods of families involved in farming and ranching, as well as their contribution to the state's economy through local food production. The bill also acknowledges the governance structure of acequias, which are managed by elected officials, and their importance in local water management, especially in the context of ongoing water challenges.

Furthermore, the resolution recognizes the efforts of the New Mexico acequia association and the acequia commission in advocating for water policies that benefit acequias and in supporting infrastructure funding. It notes the hydrological benefits of acequias, such as aquifer recharge, and underscores their continued relevance in water policy discussions amid increasing demands and drought conditions. The bill concludes by directing that copies of the memorial be sent to the New Mexico acequia association and the acequia commission.
