Water tensions between the United States and Mexico

In this episode of Legal Evolution, we discuss a recent point of tension in relations between Mexico and the United States: water resources along the border between the two countries. Juan Carlos Machorro, a partner at the firm, speaks with Angélica López and David González, associates specializing in environmental law and water projects, about the 1944 treaty that regulates the exchange of water resources between the two nations. We analyze Mexico's alleged non-compliance with the treaty, the existence of arguments to support claims of non-compliance by our northern neighbor, and the existing arguments for revising the terms of the treaty in light of current conditions and the changes that have occurred since its signing in the 40s, including the impacts of climate change.
