SUMMARY:The Colorado River Drought Contingency Plan: Binational implications
DESCRIPTION:Water scarcity continues to challenge communities\, ecosystems\, and governance structures across the U.S.–Mexico transboundary basins. One of the most significant responses to these challenges has been the development of the drought contingency plan\, a framework designed to address water shortages  in the Colorado River Basin across its riparian states in the U.S and its corresponding  water share with Mexico. \nOn Thursday\, May 7\, from 4:00 to 5:30 PM Central Time\, the Permanent Forum of Binational Waters will host a Coffee Break titled “The Colorado River Drought Contingency Plan: Binational Implications.” This virtual event will bring together leading experts to discuss the policy\, scientific\, and cross-border dimensions of the renegotiation of the  drought contingency plan and its current conditions. \nThe Colorado River is one of the most critical water sources in North America\, supporting over 40 million people\, agricultural production\, and ecosystems in both the United States and Mexico. As prolonged drought conditions and climate variability intensify\, the drought contingency plan has emerged as a key mechanism for managing water shortages and promoting coordinated action among stakeholders. \nThe discussion will feature three distinguished speakers with extensive experience in water policy\, research\, and river management.  \nGina Gilson\, Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Nevada\, Reno\, contributes expertise in environmental research and water systems analysis. Her work focuses on understanding how policy frameworks interact with hydrological realities. \nMike Zellner\, Chief Executive Officer of the Sonoran Institute\, brings a practical perspective on environmental governance and cross-border collaboration. His leadership has been instrumental in advancing sustainability initiatives in the Colorado River Basin. \nJack Schmidt\, Director of the Center for Colorado River Studies at Utah State University\, is a recognized authority on river science and management. His research has significantly contributed to understanding the long-term dynamics of the Colorado River and the implications of policies such as the drought contingency plan. \nThe session will be moderated by Rosario Sánchez\, Director of the Permanent Forum of Binational Waters\, whose leadership has been central to advancing binational dialogue and collaboration on water issues. Her experience in bridging science\, policy\, and stakeholder engagement will guide this timely conversation. \nTogether\, the panelists will examine how this framework influences water allocation\, binational cooperation\, and long-term resilience in the basin. Their perspectives will help unpack the complexities of implementing the drought contingency plan in a region where water scarcity is both a scientific and political challenge. \nParticipants are invited to join this conversation and engage with experts working at the intersection of science\, policy\, and binational water management.

SUMMARY:The Importance of Tributaries: Pecos River and Goodenough Springs
DESCRIPTION:Water systems in arid and semi-arid regions depend heavily on tributaries and natural springs that sustain river flow and ecological balance. In the Pecos River New Mexico region\, these water sources play a crucial role in maintaining hydrological stability\, supporting ecosystems\, and sustaining communities that rely on shared water resources. \nUnderstanding how tributaries contribute to river systems is essential for addressing modern water challenges\, especially in areas affected by drought\, climate variability\, and increasing water demand.  \nIn the Pecos River basin\, tributaries and spring systems such as Goodenough Springs help regulate water flow and influence both environmental and human water use across the region and at transboundary scales. \nTo explore these issues\, the Permanent Forum of Binational Waters will host a Science Talk titled “The Importance of Tributaries: Pecos River and Goodenough Springs.” The event will take place on Thursday\, March 19\, from 4:00 to 5:30 PM CT\, bringing together experts who study hydrology\, river systems\, and watershed management in the southwestern United States. \nExpert Perspectives on Tributaries and River Systems\nThe discussion will feature three speakers with extensive experience in hydrology and watershed science in this region Their work provides valuable insight into how tributaries influence the Pecos River New Mexico system and other interconnected water resources. \nRamon Saiz\, Monitoring and Information Coordinator at Cache Creek Conservancy\, works on watershed monitoring and environmental data management. His work focuses on understanding river systems through long-term data collection and community-based environmental stewardship. \nMauricio Flores\, Hydrologist at the Southwest Research Institute\, specializes in hydrological analysis and water resource systems. His research helps improve the understanding of how rivers\, tributaries\, and groundwater interact within complex watershed environments such as the Pecos River and Goodenough springs. \nRonald Green\, Hydrologist and Independent Consultant\, brings decades of experience in groundwater and spring systems. His expertise includes studying spring-fed systems like Goodenough Springs and evaluating their role in sustaining downstream water flows. \nThe session will be moderated by Raquel Neri Barranco\, Programs Coordinator at the Permanent Forum of Binational Waters. Raquel is a Ph.D. student in environmental engineering focused on water systems\, with experience in data analysis\, modeling\, and interdisciplinary research across academic\, industry\, and nonprofit settings. \nRegister and Join the Conversation\nEvents like this Science Talk help strengthen collaboration between researchers\, practitioners\, and the public interested in water management. By examining tributaries and springs in systems such as the Pecos River and Goodenough Springs the discussion aims to highlight the importance of small water sources in maintaining larger river networks. \nParticipants are invited to join this open conversation and learn from experts working on watershed science and hydrology. \nRegister for the event and be part of the discussion on March 19.

SUMMARY:Coffee Break Recap: Reforming the Mexican National Water Law and Its Impact on Shared Basins
DESCRIPTION:On January 29\, 2026\, the Permanent Forum of Binational Waters will host a Coffee Break titled “Reform of the Mexican National Water Law and its implications for shared river basins”. The event features three renowned panelists: Patricia Herrera Ascencio\, Director General of the Mexican Institute of Water Technology (IMTA); Mario López\, Water Resources Engineer and Independent Consultant; and Felipe Arreguín Cortés\, researcher at the Institute of Engineering\, UNAM. The conversation will be moderated by Dr. Samuel Sandoval Solís\, Professor at the University of California\, Davis. \nThis timely discussion will be focused on the wide-ranging implications of the recently approved Mexican National Water Law\, particularly in relation to shared river basins between Mexico and the United States. Panelists will cover how the reform marks a turning point in Mexico’s water governance by establishing procedures to guarantee a more transparent\, standardized\, and federally controlled process for water rights allocations. \nThe panel will also explore if the new Mexican National Water Law could enhance binational cooperation. Will this reform imply a clearer legal framework and updated hydrological criteria for water availability and priority\,—especially under international treaties like the 1944 Water Treaty? The extent and scope of the reform could benefit from increased predictability and institutional alignment? and many other related topics will be discussed.  \nThe event is made possible thanks to the support of institutional allies: the Water Resources Research Center (WRRC)\, the Texas Water Resources Institute (TWRI)\, the North American Development Bank (NADBank)\, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ)\, and California Water Resources Institute. \n\nA full recording of the session will be made available on the Forum’s YouTube channel after the event. This Coffee Break is part of a broader effort by the Forum to promote open dialogue\, scientific collaboration\, and stronger legal foundations for shared water governance.

SUMMARY:Science Talk: Water\, Sanitation\, and Hygiene Access for Unhoused Communities
DESCRIPTION:Access to clean water\, safe sanitation\, and hygiene is not only a matter of dignity—it is also a cornerstone of essential services\, public health rights. Yet unhoused communities across the United States and Mexico face daily\, systemic barriers to meeting these most basic human needs.  \nAs climate change intensifies\, urban inequality deepens\, and housing insecurity increases\, addressing the link between water access and public health becomes more urgent than ever before. \nScience Talk: Water\, Sanitation\, and Hygiene Access for Unhoused Communities to be held on July 24\, from 4:00 to 5:30 Central Time\, will explore how homelessness intersects with public health\, water infrastructure\, and environmental justice.  \nParticipants will gain insights into the structural\, legal\, and health-related challenges that impact unhoused populations\, particularly those along the U.S.–Mexico border. This conversation will also highlight community-based responses and solutions to improve water equity and essential service access. \nThis free\, virtual event will bring together three distinguished experts working at the intersection of homelessness\, environmental justice\, and essential services public health.  \nTheir insights will help reframe how we understand and implement essential services public health strategies for marginalized and vulnerable urban populations\, especially those living without stable shelter or access to basic infrastructure. \nMegan Welsh Carroll\, Professor at San Diego State University\, will explore how policy frameworks that criminalize homelessness and limit access to public facilities and urban infrastructure exacerbate the lack of hygiene\, sanitation\, and water access for unhoused individuals. Her research sheds light on the institutional barriers that reinforce cycles of displacement and exclusion. \nAlhelí Calderón Villareal\, Physician and current Assistant Professor in the Public Health Department at California State University San Marcos (CSUSM)\, will share on-the-ground experiences with communities that have historically been excluded from municipal water systems and have faced the consequences of transboundary environmental degradation. Her work focuses on key populations within these communities\, such as individuals experiencing housing instability\, deported individuals\, and people who use drugs\, and emphasizes the power of community-led responses to water injustice. \nPaula Stigler Granados\, Associate Professor of Environmental Health at San Diego State University\, will present research on health disparities\, hygiene-related risks\, and the long-term consequences of neglecting essential services for unhoused populations\, particularly in binational contexts. \nModerated by Samuel Sandoval Solís\, Associate Director of the Permanent Forum of Binational Waters and Professor at the University of California Davis\, this discussion is part of Science Talks—a bilingual series that offers open-access\, research-driven conversations on water\, equity\, and sustainability. All previous Science Talks are recorded and available for viewing on the PFBW YouTube channel. \nThe session will be held in English\, with live interpretation into Spanish.\n Participation is free and open to the public. \n Be part of this important conversation on July 24: Zoom link

DESCRIPTION:You are cordially invited to submit an abstract for the session On effective transboundary groundwater areas for shared aquifer management\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-hosted by: IAH-Transboundary Aquifers Commission\, International Groundwater Resources Centre (IGRAC)\, Permanent Forum of Binational Waters\, Texas A&M University-Texas Water Resources Institute\, SADC-Groundwater Management Institute (GMI)\, UNESCO\, Centre for Sustainable Solutions in Applied Hydrogeology \nWhen dealing with a shared aquifer where groundwater crosses from one jurisdiction to another\, we often face difficult decisions about how to proceed with the scale of the transboundary aquifer assessment. \nWe must decide whether the assessments should be based on the entire aquifer extent (often the most expensive approach)\, or on a particular aquifer zone\, hotspots\, transboundary corridors\, groundwater flow systems\, groundwater residence time\, radius of influence\, or capture areas. \nTo do that correctly\, however\, groundwater dynamics within the aquifer (time and space scales) must be well understood closer to the jurisdictional boundary. Further\, to complement the knowledge of groundwater dynamics\, new elements and/or variables need to be added\, e.g.\, social\, economic\, and political needs. \nAlthough a full aquifer-wide transboundary assessment may be essential\, often transboundary impacts are limited to border regions\, or zones with troubling spots. \nHere\, it might be useful to focus on a more detailed assessment at smaller scales to alleviate data scarcity\, financing and capacity issues. However\, a significant challenge exists in identifying the appropriate transboundary groundwater management units where transboundary implications are important (i.e.\, active groundwater flow across the international border\, presence of well fields or pollution\, etc.). \nSession objectives and structure\n\nThe session will discuss existing challenges\, approaches\, and best practices in prioritising assessment areas to support transboundary aquifers’ sustainable management and governance and help guide policy and decision-making.\nThe session will include a series of keynote presentations and a panel discussion. Posters are also invited. Call for abstracts: Abstracts for oral and poster presentations can be submitted via the online submission platform.\nBefore submitting an abstract\, a user account has to be created\, which can later be used to register for the congress and modify an abstract. The abstract can be entered in the online form with a maximum length of 2000 characters (including spaces). Special characters\, pictures or graphics cannot be included. Abstract submitters must indicate whether they prefer an oral or poster presentation and select the session topic\, in this case\, the session: On effective transboundary groundwater areas for shared aquifer management\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContacts for further information \nAlfonso Rivera\, aguasub7@gmail.com\nKevin Pietersen\, kpietersen@mweb.co.za\nRosario Sanchez\, rosario@tamu.edu\nAlice Aureli\, AliceAureli@practicalhydrogeology.co.uk

SUMMARY:Salty and Charged: Desalination Water System Debate
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nSalado y Cargado: Explorando el Debate sobre el Sistema de Desalinización de Agua\n¡Estamos de regreso… y más salados que nunca! Tras una breve pausa dedicada a la planificación estratégica\, el Foro Permanente de Aguas Binacionales relanzó con entusiasmo su serie de Coffee Breaks con un tema audaz y urgente: ¿Es la desalinización la solución a nuestros problemas de agua? \nRealizado el 10 de agosto de 2023\, este Coffee Break reunió a expertos de ambos lados de la frontera entre México y Estados Unidos para debatir sobre el creciente interés en la desalinización como posible respuesta a la escasez hídrica. A medida que la crisis climática se intensifica y las fuentes tradicionales de agua se ven más presionadas\, la idea de implementar un sistema de desalinización de agua ha cobrado fuerza en la región fronteriza. \nPero\, ¿es realmente la desalinización una solución definitiva o simplemente otro camino complejo y costoso lleno de implicaciones? \nEn este Coffee Break\, al que bautizamos como “salado y cargado”\, participaron cuatro panelistas distinguidos: \n\n\nDra. Margaret Wilder\, Universidad de Arizona \n\n\nDra. Adriana Zúñiga\, Universidad de Arizona \n\n\nDr. Nicolás Pineda\, Colegio de Sonora \n\n\nNélida Barajas\, CEDO Intercultural \n\n\nEl panel abordó preguntas clave:¿Es la desalinización la alternativa más viable a largo plazo para la región? ¿Qué desafíos ambientales\, económicos y sociales implica implementar un sistema de desalinización de agua a gran escala? ¿Están los acuerdos binacionales actuales considerando esta tecnología de manera integral\, o se están dejando de lado otras soluciones sostenibles? \nEl Coffee Break subrayó que la desalinización no debe verse de forma aislada. Aunque puede ofrecer soluciones puntuales\, se requieren enfoques integrales con justicia social y científica. \n  \n \nPuedes leer el resumen de este Coffee Break aquí.
