EC 410 - Common Pool Resources: Traditional Irrigation in Northern New Mexico

Credits: 4
Acequia irrigation systems in northern New Mexico are a classic example of what is known as a common pool resource. This category of resource includes fisheries, non-timber forest products, and library carrels. They are all easy to share but hard to keep people from using. Acequias form part of a complex Indo-Hispano heritage in a minority-majority state, which makes their administration and the laws appurtenant to them different from what many Americans are familiar with.
