Who gets water when the Rio Grande runs dry? 💧

The river ran dry in parts of New Mexico once again this year, & water managers warn this could be a glimpse of the challenges ahead. Even with recent rains, New Mexico is facing a water supply that is increasingly lacking, while demand continues to grow. So who gets the water when there simply isn't enough to go around? @chrismckeeTV & @gburkNM host Jason Casuga, Chief Engineer and CEO of the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District, about the state of the Rio Grande, and what happens when the river can't meet all of the demands placed on it. We also discuss the Rio Grande Compact that involves states agreeing to share water, and what it means if New Mexico fails to meet its court agreement. Casuga explains how water decisions New Mexico makes now could shape the state for generations. How much water will the rive have in the future?

One morning in 1991, visitors and balloon pilots were worried about high winds at Balloon Fiesta. However, there was almost not enough wind, giving viewers a long look at the balloons as they slowly took off. Reporter Kim Trujillo took a look at the balloons as they slowly ascended.
