House Memorial 21 proposes to officially declare February 11, 2025, as "Acequia Day" in the House of Representatives of New Mexico. The memorial highlights the historical and cultural significance of acequias, which are traditional irrigation systems that have supported local agriculture and community water sharing 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 memorial also acknowledges the governance structure of acequias, which includes elected commissioners and mayordomos, and their recognized status as political subdivisions with important powers in local water management.

The resolution further notes 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 underscores the hydrological benefits of acequias, particularly in the context of ongoing drought and increasing water demands, asserting their importance in future water policy decisions. The memorial concludes by directing that copies be sent to the New Mexico acequia association and the acequia commission to commemorate this day and its significance.
