== Lessons Learned ==

*Even if conditions for agreement are good, this does not guarantee that issues will be resolved. 

:It is testimony to the complexity of international groundwater regimes that despite the presence of an active authority for cooperative management, and despite relatively warm political relations and few riparians, negotiations have continued since 1973 without resolution. 

*Difference of opinion of federal and state governments can impede cooperation.

:After Minute 242 was agreed upon by both Mexico and the United States, the differences between the United States federal government and the government of the States bordering Mexico most likely played a role in the lack of cooperation between the two nations with regards to groundwater resources.
