Mexico and the U.S. say they’ve reached a new agreement on the water-sharing treaty between the two countries, and that Mexico will make immediate deliveries of water it owes.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Mexico and the U.S. have tweaked some of the technical aspects of the 81-year-old treaty.
But the exact details of this most recent agreement between the two countries are still unclear. The treaty requires Mexico to deliver water from the Rio Grande to Texas, while the U.S. delivers water to Mexico from the Colorado River.
For years, northern Mexico has suffered from drought and not delivered its share of water, as it approaches an October deadline to catch up on missed deliveries.
Sheinbaum says that recent rain in the border state of Tamaulipas helped make this most recent delivery possible.
