Since 2001,
researchers from the Center for
Research in Water
Resources
(CRWR) at
The University of Texas at Austin have been engaged in a program of
developing water
management tools for use in the Rio Grande - Rio Bravo basin shared
between Mexico and the United States. This research has been funded by
the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the North
American
Development Bank (NADBank), The US Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), the US
Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the Mexican Institute of Water
Technology (IMTA). Some
of the results of this research are available at the links listed
below. For more
information, contact Dr. Daene McKinney at: daene@aol.com.
