Water dispute heats as Texas farmers claim Rio Grande debt unpaid
Texas farmers press lawmakers in Brownsville amid claims that Chihuahua growers use water before it reaches the Rio Grande. They cite a 1944 treaty requiring Mexico to deliver 1.5 million acre feet, but drought and agricultural shifts in Chihuahua have reduced available water. Local reservoirs run under 25 percent capacity as groundwater pumping worsens flows toward the Rio Conchos.
