A measure introduced in Congress would cap years of intense negotiations that led to a settlement in a 43-year-old fight over water rights claims in northern New Mexico.
Democratic Sens. Jeff Bingaman and Tom Udall on May 20 introduced the Aamodt Litigation Settlement Act, which would authorize the settlement of claims by the Nambe, Pojoaque, San Ildefonso and Tesuque pueblos in the Rio Pojoaque basin north of Santa Fe.
