Talking Water Management with ‘Fluid Geographies’ Author

8.16.24 – All New Mexicans know how important water is to our state, but “water management” isn’t a neutral term. In conversation with Our Land Senior Producer Laura Paskus and in her new book, “Fluid Geographies,” Dr. K. Maria Lane analyzes how the state’s authority over water isn’t based on objective science but is part of a larger structure of moving water and authority away from the people who lived here and into the control of Anglos.
