WDI Implementation Team Core Values
Collaboration -We work as a team, and with our contributing agencies, to solve problems.
Service - We value outreach and education about New Mexico water data. We support contributing agencies when they ask for help.
Openness - We make our work products available to others.
Innovation - We prioritize new ways of managing and sharing data.
Sustainability - We work to find solutions that can be effective for the long term (see the Zen of WDI below for principles to support sustainability).
