Walk Along the Acequia

Learn about the value of the acequia irrigation system by taking a walk, through story, along the acequia madre. You will encounter various people who can teach you about its value--if you choose to listen. This project aims to teach people from the New Mexico area and elsewhere about the cultural and political significance of the acequia system, and raise awareness of the concerns surrounding water rights in modern day. The history and value of the acequia is far-reaching, but few people remember it nowadays. Our hope is that, by creating a game which allows the user to have a personal experience with those who care about the acequias, we can help raise awareness of this valuable community resource which, if not protected, could soon be lost.
