A growing dispute over water scarcity is intensifying between the United States and Mexico, centered on allegations from Washington that Mexico is violating a longstanding water-sharing treaty. The Mexican state of Chihuahua is experiencing an unprecedented drought, with San Francisco de Conchos notably enduring 30 months without rainfall. Mexican officials argue that current environmental conditions make compliance with the treaty terms impossible. Concurrently, a separate legal conflict has emerged within the U.S. as Nebraska has filed a lawsuit against neighboring Colorado over water usage from the South Platte River. Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen accused Colorado of withholding water for nearly a century, exacerbated by Colorado's rapid population growth in recent years. This litigation reflects broader tensions over water resources affecting agricultural communities and regional economies.
