We are a collaborative, multi-disciplinary network of practitioners representing an array of perspectives, skills, and organizations who share a common mission:
To increase the use of Green Stormwater Infrastructure, Low Impact Development (GSI/LID) and Rainwater Harvesting practices in New Mexico through education, policy advocacy, and demonstration projects that benefit nature and people.
The Arid LID Coalition exists to support our partners’ work and to serve as a platform for collaboration. Our shared vision is to foster urban landscapes in New Mexico that sustainably use all sources of water, integrating natural infrastructure alongside engineered solutions to provide resilient, climate-adapted habitat for generations of people, plants and wildlife.

Catalyze the revision of state and local stormwater policies and municipal programs to advance GSI/LID adoption.
Educate and engage residents in GSI/LID practices to build grassroots support for neighborhood-scale implementation.
Drive a pipeline of high-quality, community-informed projects that demonstrate GSI/LID best practices.
