by KRQE Staff / Dec 15, 2020

NEW MEXICO

(KRQE) - In a decision that was released on Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that New Mexico is entitled to delivery credit for evaporated water that wasn't delivered to Texas following a tropical storm that resulted in a significant amount of rainfall in the Pecos River Basin. The dispute began in 2014 when Tropical Storm Odile hit the Pecos River Basin.

In order to prevent flooding, Texas asked New Mexico to store water from the Pecos River temporarily that would otherwise flow into Texas. Months later the water was released to Texas however, about 21,000 acre-feet had evaporated.
