US EditionMonsoon season brings the promise of rain for the arid southwestern US
- On June 24, 2025, rainfall flowing from an arroyo caused runoff to spill over agricultural land near the northern area of Las Cruces, located in southern New Mexico.
- This event followed the monsoon season’s official start on June 15, after a severe drought emergency was declared in May due to fire risk and water shortages.
- Water Master James Narvaez monitored the storm closely, noting the runoff was redirected successfully to the Rio Grande, helping to reduce water releases at the Caballo Dam.
- Narvaez confirmed, “It’s a day of opportunity,” highlighting a 500 CFS water saving over 48 hours that may extend the 2025 irrigation season by up to two days.
- The storm’s beneficial runoff allowed farmers to reduce well water use and suggests the early monsoon rain could support agriculture despite ongoing drought conditions.
