Work Group Chair: Dave DuBois, Ph.D., New Mexico State Climate Office/NMSU
The Monitoring Work Group of the DTF includes water resource, agriculture, and
climate professionals from all levels of government. The group is responsible
for monitoring all available climatological data, soil moisture readings,
reservoir storage levels, and other pertinent information necessary to analyze
the current status of drought conditions in the State of New Mexico. The group
also examines and reports on long-term forecasts to assist the DTF in their
preparedness and response actions. As necessary, the MWG issues "notices" based
on various stages of drought that trigger actions by the DTF. The current chair
of the Monitoring Work Group is an employee of the Interstate Stream Commission. |
