Navajo Nation residents, ranchers, farmers, and businessmen are subjected to frequent water shortages. Since 1988 the Navajo Nation Department of Emergency Management (NDEM) has coordinated the Navajo Nation’s response to drought. The most recent extreme Reservation-wide drought faced by the Navajo Nation was in 1996. As a result of that event, the NDEM drafted the Drought Comprehensive Action Plan (NDEM, 1996). That action plan is the template for the Navajo Nation’s drought contingency plan. To improve the understanding of future drought impacts, in 1996 the Navajo Nation Department of Water Resources (NDWR) and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) completed the Drought Contingency Planning Study Phase I Plan (Phase I Study, NDWR, 1996). That report compiled much of the information which was later incorporated into the Water Resources Development Strategy for the Navajo Nation (NDWR, 2000). One of the recommendations from the Phase I Study was that, although the Navajo Nation had drafted several components for a drought plan, it still needed a more comprehensive and effective contingency plan. That recommendation has resulted in the Navajo Nation Drought Report 2002 (Drought Report). The Phase I Study and the Drought Report were used to prepare this Navajo Nation Response Contingency Plan 2002 (Contingency Plan). This Drought Contingency Plan is a collaboration between Reclamation, the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), the Navajo Division of Natural Resources (DNR), and the NDEM. To develop this plan the NDWR met with: 1) NDEM, 2) DNR Departments, 3) Division of Economic Development’s Community Development Block Grant Program and Local Governance Support Center, 4) Navajo Tribal Utility Authority, and 5) Navajo Environmental Protection Administration. The term “drought” is often inaccurately used to characterize all water shortage situations. Drought is commonly defined as a persistent and extended period of below normal precipitation causing abnormal moisture deficiency having adverse effects on people, animals and crops (Hawaii, 2000). The Navajo Nation is an arid region, where periods of little or no rainfall frequently occur and do not necessarily constitute a drought. The Navajo Nation response needs to distinguish between chronic water shortage and drought. Droughts are a result of a number of interacting factors. The impacts of a drought vary depending on the water use sector. Droughts can be defined by meteorological, agricultural, hydrologic or socioeconomic variables. Any one of these variables can be quantified using different indices. Furthermore, the beginning and end of drought events are not distinct. The Contingency Plan is based on the six-month Standard Precipitation Index (SPI). 1 Mitigation and protection are more cost effective than response and recovery. One objective of drought mitigation is to reduce the expense of responding to drought emergencies. Emergency drought response is difficult to sustain over a long period of time. The Contingency Plan combines long term and short term mitigation strategies, and it will assist all of the Navajo stakeholders to be proactive before a drought begins. This Contingency Plan provides guidance to the Chapters and the federal agencies to take appropriate action to minimize drought impacts. It will be updated annually. The Appendices A through provide an example of the monthly drought status report, draft correspondence, and contact information. The Navajo Nation’s drought response is evolving, and will continue to incorporate input from tribal departments, federal agencies, Navajo Chapters, and individual water users on the Navajo Nation. During severe droughts the Navajo Nation Council receives dozens of Chapter resolutions requesting assistance. Due to the lengthy and complicated tribal process, impacted Chapters wait for many months for Tribal funds to become available. And, they often miss the opportunity to benefit from federal drought relief programs. This Contingency Plan provides the Navajo Nation with a simpler, more streamlined tool to determine in a timely manner which Chapters should receive assistance. 1.1 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES This Contingency Plan has several broad goals. On one level the Contingency Plan is a “how to” handbook for individuals and Chapters to address drought. It contains useful information for connecting specific categories of water users with specific resources. It describes which programs should be contacted and when. And, it describes the types of information needed to assist various sectors of water use. This plan encourages the Chapters to plan prior to, and respond during, droughts. For instance, Chapters may need assistance to get water hauled to stricken areas, or to help individuals qualify for supplemental

This is one of many related papers that were included in the 1973 NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebook. Annual NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebooks Every fall since 1950, the New Mexico Geological Society (NMGS) has held an annual Fall Field Conference that explores some region of New Mexico (or surrounding states). Always well attended, these conferences provide a guidebook to participants. Besides detailed road logs, the guidebooks contain many well written, edited, and peer-reviewed geoscience papers. These books have set the national standard for geologic guidebooks and are an essential geologic reference for anyone working in or around New Mexico. Free Downloads NMGS has decided to make peer-reviewed papers from our Fall Field Conference guidebooks available for free download. Non-members will have access to guidebook papers two years after publication. Members have access to all papers. This is in keeping with our mission of promoting interest, research, and cooperation regarding geology in New Mexico. However, guidebook sales represent a significant proportion of our operating budget. Therefore, only research papers are available for download. Road logs, mini-papers, maps, stratigraphic charts, and other selected content are available only in the printed guidebooks.
