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 community water sharing for generations. It emphasizes the role of acequias in sustaining the livelihoods of families involved in farming and ranching, their governance structure, and their contributions to the local economy and water management, especially in the context of ongoing drought and water scarcity challenges.

The resolution also acknowledges the efforts of the New Mexico acequia association and the acequia commission in advocating for water policies that benefit acequias and their infrastructure. It calls for copies of the memorial to be sent to these organizations, reinforcing the importance of acequias in New Mexico's cultural heritage and water resource management.
