The Bureau of Reclamation is moving to reduce water for farmers on the Navajo Nation in New Mexico.

The reduction is needed due to ongoing drought conditions. Navajo farmers in the Four Corners will have to deal with a shorter irrigation season as a result of the change.

In related Navajo water-agricultural news, the 2003 omnibus appropriations bill cuts funding for the Navajo Indian Irrigation Project from $25.3 million to $12.2 million.
