Expressing support for the diplomatic relations required to encourage the Government of Mexico to fulfill its water deliveries on an annual basis to the United States under the treaty between the United States and Mexico regarding the utilization of the Colorado and Tijuana Rivers and of the Rio Grande.

This resolution expresses support for using diplomatic relations to encourage the Government of Mexico to meet its water delivery obligations to the United States. Under a 1944 treaty, Mexico is committed to sending an average of at least 350,000 acre-feet of water annually over a 5-year cycle. Currently, Mexico reportedly waits until the end of the 5-year cycle to fulfill this commitment. This delay has resulted in water shortages for farmers in south Texas. The resolution seeks to encourage annual water deliveries and new commitments to ensure the United States receives the required water every year.
