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 governance for generations. It emphasizes the role of acequias in nurturing farmland, preserving cultural heritage, and contributing to the economic well-being of families involved in farming and ranching. 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.

Additionally, the resolution recognizes the advocacy efforts of the New Mexico acequia association and the establishment of the acequia commission, which serves as an advisory body in state government. It calls for the transmission of copies of this memorial to both the New Mexico acequia association and the acequia commission, reinforcing the state's commitment to honoring and supporting the contributions of acequias to New Mexico's history, culture, economy, and water resource management.
