The U.S.-Mexican Border Environment: Water Issues Along the U.S.-Mexican Border

Description

The border region lies 100 kilometers/60 miles on each side of the U.S.-Mexican border and encompasses parts of four states in the United States and the six Mexican states of Baja California. Approximately 12 million people live in the U.S. counties and Mexican municipalities on the border. The high density of people and increased industrialization since the passage of NAFTA has placed an even greater burden on the inadequate infrastructure and environnmental resources of the region. Exacerbating the problem is the fact that many U.S. counties along the border are categorized as "economically distressed." and few communities possess the resources needed to address environmental concerns. This volume examines many of the environmental issues that pertain to this rapid urbanization in this region.
