A Joint Management of Transboundary Aquifers: From Asymmetries to Environmental Protection

Descrição
Resumo:Mexico lacks a public policy for the management of its transboundary aquifers. Based on the guidelines and international instruments developed for this purpose and considering the asymmetries that characterize the management of transboundary groundwater between Mexico and the United States, this work examines an academic proposal for the joint management of those international watercourses and seeks ways to protect and conserve this water, using the principles of sovereignty, territorial integrity, and sustainable development. The study finds that there is a relative ignorance and lack of interest in the subject among the various sectors dealing with the issue in Mexico.
