KAY BAILEY HUTCHISON
L--~'---""'"
WATER TREA TV SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED
uch of Texas history. and much of our literature as well. can be
summed up by the statement "Waier is scarce." Countless stories
outline the successes and frustrations of Texas' efforts to stake
claim to an adequate supply of water to ensure a sustainable and prosperous
future.
In few regions is this struggle more evident than in the Lower Rio Grande
Valley. where a severe lack of water continues to threaten agriculture and the
jobs it provides to valley residents. In addition to suffering from a protracted
drought that has affected other areas of Texas as well. South Texas agricultural produ(ers are not receiving their fair share of water from SIX Mexican
tributaries of the Rio Grande. water to which they are entitled under the terms
.
.
of a 1944 trealy with Mexico.
For neatly a half-century. the water treaty served Texas and Mexico well
because both sides understood its importance. The treaty was intended to
ensure water users on both sides of the river minimum amounts of water so
they'could manage their withdrawals and plan how it is to be used. The United
States has scrupulously observed its treat) obligations for the Colorado River
basin and pr(lvidedMexico with the amount of water 'to which it is ent.itled
every year - an amount roughly equal to what Mexico owes us for the Lower
Rio Grande.
As of the beginning of this y.ear. Mexico owed Texas roughly 1.5 million
acre-feet of water. a debt going back to 1992 (an acre-foot of water is the
volume of waterthat covers one acre to a depth of one foot), For this reason
South Texas' Falcon and Amistad reservoirs are at dangerously low levels.
During the summer of 1998. water levels (ell to 18 percent of capacity - the
' Iowe~ ' in more than 40 years. The effects of the drought could. be eased
considerably if Mexico would make good on its treaty obligations.
Recent studie~ by Texas A&M University and the Texas.Water Developme!!t Board suggest the economi<.· impact of Mexico's withholding of this
''';ater to be more than $400 million anm:ally. A continuing shortage could
eventually jeopardize the health of local residents on top of crippling the
valley's agriculture-based economy .
Last month I introduced aresoJution in the Senate calling on the !>resident
to utilize the full powers of his office to require Mexico to comply with the
terms of this treaty. imdbegin repaying the water ithas impounded. It.also calls
.onthe U.S. Section of the International Boundary and WaterCommissil,Jn.
which oversef" the treaty's performance: 110tlo aceeplanything less than full
repayment of wat¢r in its attempt to negotiate a settlement. of the dispute. A
siniilarmeasure has been introduced in the U.S ..House. I have met with the
Mexican Ambassador to ihe United States to discuss this situation as welL
.
The U.S. govemmentneeds to m:l!~~ .hi~ atop priority. Not only has
Mexico failed to present a plan to repay the water we're due for previous years.
but so far. it has failed as well to present its plan to deliver us ~he " 'ater weare
due in 2001 and 2002.
.
.
It is my hope that congressional passage of my resolution will impress
officials on both sides that Mexico must structure a water repayment plan and
do it quickly - before more farmers and ranchers in the valley lose their
. livelihoods. Goilsumers of our great South Texas citrus fruits will also be
. affected by a reduced supply.
.
. Making certain we have an adequate water supply is critical to Texas and \
in particular to the Lower Rio Grande Valley. It is.Vital that' Mexico work with
us to de\:elop better water management strategies that will make pos.sible
. . continued economk "::., elopment and prosperity on both sides of our shared
