flag Western states near the Rio Grande reach water-sharing settlements to resolve long-standing dispute.

flag Western states are working to resolve a long-standing water dispute over the Rio Grande, aiming to limit groundwater pumping in New Mexico and ensure sufficient water reaches Texas. flag The U.S. Supreme Court previously sent the states back to negotiate. flag The proposed settlements include a detailed water-sharing system, allowing New Mexico to use credits and debits to manage water through droughts and wet periods. flag These agreements, if approved, would also encourage local water conservation and investments in the region, addressing a critical issue affecting millions of people and millions of acres of farmland.
