The PROGRAM works to support the recovery of listed species in the Middle Rio Grande (MRG) and to protect existing and future water uses while complying with applicable state and federal laws, existing water rights, and the Rio Grande Compact.
The Program Area is defined as:
�the headwaters of the Rio Chama watershed and the Rio Grande, including tributaries, from the New Mexico-Colorado state line downstream to elevation 4,450 ft mean sea level, the elevation of the spillway crest of the Elephant Butte Dam.�
