Mexico pledges to increase water transfers to address treaty shortfalls by October.
The State Department reported that Mexico has agreed to boost its Rio Grande water deliveries to the U.S. to reduce current shortfalls before the end of the five-year treaty cycle on October 24. The agreement includes immediate and ongoing water transfers from Amistad and Falcon Dams—a larger U.S. share of water from six Mexican tributaries—and additional deliveries from the San Juan River.
These new commitments build on the 110,000 acre-feet already delivered in the current water year, which began October 25, 2024.
The U.S. accepted Mexico’s proposal and officials from both countries plan to meet in July to review regional hydrology and assess progress.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For U.S. officials as they seek to ensure Mexico meets the terms of the water treaty.
- For President Trump and members of his administration as they craft the next water agreement.
