Bill Summary
RESOLUTION Expressing support for the diplomatic relations required to encourage the Government of Mexico to fulfill water deliveries on an annual basis to the United States under the Treaty between the United States of America and Mexico respecting the utilization of waters of the Colorado and Tijuana Rivers and of the Rio Grande.
AI Summary
This Resolution expresses support for diplomatic efforts to ensure Mexico fulfills its water delivery obligations to the United States under a 1944 treaty concerning the Colorado, Tijuana, and Rio Grande Rivers. The treaty requires Mexico to deliver a minimum of 350,000 acre-feet of water annually, measured over five-year periods, but Mexico has repeatedly failed to meet this commitment, leading to water shortages for farmers in South Texas. The resolution encourages continued diplomatic engagement, including through the International Boundary and Water Commission, to secure compliance with the treaty, promote more predictable water deliveries, and reaffirm Mexico's commitment to delivering at least 350,000 acre-feet of water each year.
