Abstract: Despite tensions between Mexico and the United States, the countries continue to develop cooperative strategies to manage shared water resources under the Treaty on the Utilization of Waters of the Colorado and Tijuana Rivers and of the Rio Grande. These strategies include agreements in 2012 and 2017 to advance sustainable management of the Colorado. Unfortunately, these advances have not been mirrored by improvements for the Rio Grande. We consider Minutes 319 and 323, examine the potential for a minute to create similar benefits for the Rio Grande, and offer recommendations to improve stakeholder engagement, binational cooperation and sustainability in that basin.
