Zuni River

The Zuni River is a tributary of the Little Colorado River, located primarily in western New Mexico. It runs through the Zuni Pueblo and surrounding areas, providing critical water resources for local communities and ecosystems. The river's flow varies seasonally, influenced by rainfall and snow melt, supporting habitat for wildlife and agricultural activities. It plays an important role in the regional watershed, contributing to groundwater recharge and maintaining ecological health. Protecting the Zuni River is vital for sustaining both the environment and the communities that rely on its water.
