World Grapples with Water, Floods, and Frozen Relations

Mexico Agrees to Increased Water Deliveries to the US

Mexico agreed to a deal with the United States to guarantee a minimum annual amount of water deliveries, replacing a previous system that required Mexico to fulfill a quota on a five-year cycle, according to Euronews. The agreement, announced on February 2, 2026, aims to aid farmers in southern US states, particularly in Texas.

The deal followed months of negotiations and a threat from then US President Donald Trump to impose tariffs on Mexican imports if the country did not increase water deliveries. Under the new agreement, Mexico will send at least 350,000 acre-feet of water annually to the US.
