The Texas Water Resources Institute is the responsible institution for implementing the 109th Congress of the United States “United States-Mexico Transboundary Aquifer Assessment Act” signed in 2006 as Public Law 109-448 along with its partners of the States of Arizona and New Mexico. In 2009, this law led to the 2009 signing of the “Joint Report of the Principal Engineers Regarding the Joint Cooperative Process United States-Mexico for the Transboundary Aquifer Assessment Program,“ under the umbrella of the International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC), and the authority and framework under which personnel in the United States and Mexico could jointly study shared aquifers.
