Abstract: | United States-Mexican transboundary water resources management is presently experiencing significant reform resulting from
long-term demographic processes in the border region and greater economic integration. The recently concluded North American
Free Trade Agreement and supplementary environmental accord modify existing agreements and provide old institution with new
mandates. Particularly affected is the International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC), long the lead agency in binational
water management. This essay reviews the development of the new water management regime against the two preceding phases of
management reform and considers its implications for improved water management in the border region. |
