The Upper Colorado River Basin Compact allots 62,780 acre-feet (77,440,000 m 3) of water from the upper Colorado River basin per year to municipalities in New Mexico. Albuquerque owns 48,200 acre-feet (59,500,000 m 3), about three-quarters of the total amount. The water is delivered to the Rio Grande via the San Juan–Chama Project.

The Conservancy is a major recipient of water from the San Juan–Chama Project, a series of tunnels and diversions that take water from the drainage basin of the San Juan River – a tributary of the Colorado River – to supplement water resources in the Rio Grande watershed. 24% of the 3,755,307,600 cubic feet (106,338,470 m 3) annual supply ...
The Rio Grande water resource region is one of 21 major geographic areas, or regions, in the first level of classification used by the United States Geological Survey to divide and sub-divide the United States into successively smaller hydrologic units. These geographic areas contain either the drainage area of a major river, or the combined ...
