| Issue
|
The deterioration of water quantity and quality flowiníg into Mexico along the Colorado river following the inauguración of the Wellton-Mohawk project. +
, The bottom problem (inadequate drainage) was never addressed. With time, this situation plus the introduction of water from the Colorado River led to waterlogging farmlands. +
, Mexico could not utilize these water for irrigation purposes and was forced to allow it flow directly to the sea. +
|
| Key Question
|
How does asymmetry of power influence water negotiations and how can the negative effects be mitigated? +
, What mechanisms beyond simple allocation can be incorporated into transboundary water agreements to add value and facilitate resolution? +
