New Mexico was on the docket to kick off the United States Supreme Court term this week.\u00a0 This case, involving a dispute over the Pecos River between Texas and New Mexico, is the first time the Justices will rule on a decision made by a river master. The Pecos River Compact governs the apportionment of water between the two states.\u00a0 This case involves a one-time event in 2014-2015 where floodwaters were temporarily stored in a federal reservoir and which state should bear the evaporation loss of about 21,000 acre-feet of water.\u00a0 Because this question was not answered in the Compact, the river master made a ruling in 2018, finding that Texas should be charged with most of the evaporation losses since it was held in the reservoir per Texas&#8217; request.\u00a0 \u00a0Texas sought review of this decision before the US Supreme Court.
