Summary

This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' support for diplomatic relations to encourage the Government of Mexico to fulfill its water deliveries to the United States annually. A 1944 treaty obligates Mexico to provide an average of at least 350,000 acre-feet of water annually over a five-year cycle from the Colorado, Tijuana, and Rio Grande Rivers. The resolution highlights that Mexico repeatedly waits until the end of this five-year cycle, which causes significant water shortages for farmers in south Texas . Therefore, it encourages Mexico to meet these commitments on an annual basis and seeks new commitments to ensure the United States receives its full annual allocation.
