From aquifers to Big Rivers in the US and Mexico: Scientific Data resources

Access detailed aquifer maps, comprehensive scientific databases, and advanced models to improve water management and sustainability in our border region.

Our resources and scientific data offer critical tools for researchers, policymakers, and water stakeholders involved in water projects, with a special focus on the U.S.-Mexico border and major water systems like the big rivers in the US.

Scientific Data Resources

For researchers and policymakers, the Permanent Forum of Binational Waters offers access to an array of scientific data to better understand water systems, particularly those affecting the U.S.-Mexico border region. Some of them are:

Aquifers Map of the US

Access detailed maps of aquifers across the U.S. and Mexico, including data on big rivers in the U.S., critical for understanding water availability and planning sustainable water use. These aquifer maps provide insight into the geography and structure of vital groundwater sources and their relationship with major river systems.

Scientific Databases

We compile and maintain scientific databases that include important information on key water resources. These databases are essential for analyzing water flow, river management, and conservation strategies.

Models and Tools: Enhancing Water Resource Management

A comprehensive suite of models and tools for understanding and managing surface-groundwater interactions, surface water, and groundwater systems. These resources are designed to provide accurate simulations and forecasts essential for water resource stakeholders, policymakers, and researchers, helping to address critical issues like water scarcity and aquifer recharge areas.

Recommended Peer-Reviewed Publications

We provided lists of peer-reviewed publications related to binational water management and environmental issues locally and at international level. It includes studies on climate change, water sustainability, hydrologic changes, groundwater quality, and ecosystem impacts in transboundary regions, particularly between the U.S. and Mexico.

Recommended Non-Peer Reviewed Publications

Featured reports, white papers, and other non-peer-reviewed documents addressing water management, governance, and environmental impacts in cross-border regions, especially between the U.S. and Mexico. These publications highlight collaborative initiatives,and offer policy recommendations aimed at improving water sustainability and resilience across borders.

Blueprints for Cross-Border Water Solutions: Official Reports

We include authoritative reports from organizations like the UN and UNECE, focused on water governance, transboundary water cooperation, and sustainable management of shared water resources around the world. These reports provide in-depth analysis, policy guidance, and case studies on international water issues, with a particular emphasis on regions like the U.S.-Mexico border and other global water-stressed basins.
