International Boundary and Water Commission
Untreated wastewater originating in Tijuana, Mexico enters the U.S. via the Tijuana River. Tijuana¿s higher elevation results in sewage flowing downhill into Calif. and out to the Pacific Ocean. There are several alternatives to bring the wastewater into Clean Water Act compliance; a fed. court order requires compliance by Sept. 30, 2008. There are two proposals under consideration: (1) upgrading the Wastewater Treatment Plant in San Ysidro, Calif.; or (2) building a new plant in Mexico where wastewater that received primary treatment would be pumped for secondary treatment. This report: (1) describes the two proposed treatment alternatives; (2) describes the estimated costs and timelines for each proposal; and (3) assesses the reliability of these estimates.
Border Land, Border Water
From the boundary surveys of the 1850s to the ever-expanding fences and highway networks of the twenty-first century, Border Land, Border Water examines the history of the construction projects that have shaped the region where the United States and Mexico meet. Tracing the accretion of ports of entry, boundary markers, transportation networks, fences and barriers, surveillance infrastructure, and dams and other river engineering projects, C. J. Alvarez advances a broad chronological narrative that captures the full life cycle of border building. He explains how initial groundbreaking in the nineteenth century transitioned to unbridled faith in the capacity to control the movement of people,...

Border Water
"This is the first scholarly study to detail the history and international politics of managing water flowing across the U.S.-Mexico border. Written from both a historical and political science perspective, the study's primary aim is to provide students and scholars with a reliable one-volume account of the history of binational cooperation on transboundary water management for the 70-year period under consideration. The historical narrative relies on archival sources, interviews, government documents, advocacy organizations' reports and correspondence, and a wide-ranging canvas of scholarly and popular press materials focused on transboundary water management. The author offers a unique periodization for better understanding developments in international cooperation through time"--
International Groundwater Law and the US-Mexico Border Region
In International Groundwater Law and the US-Mexico Border Region, Maria E. Milanes provides a study and analysis of the international groundwater law. The regulation and groundwater management along the US-Mexico border reflect the current international trends for management of transboundary groundwater. International Groundwater Law and the US-Mexico Border Region offers a new international legal and institutional framework to manage fossil aquifers and groundwater in conjunctive use with surface water, where specific guidelines and recommendations for water banking can improve water allocation and protect the environment. This framework can be adapted to any region of around the world. The US-Mexico border is the case study selected to apply and demonstrate the efficacy of this legal and institutional framework.

Dividing the Waters
During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the Native peoples inhabiting the Lower Mississippi Valley confronted increasing domination by colonial powers, disastrous reductions in population, and the threat of being marginalized by a new cotton economy. Their strategies of resistance and adaptation to these changes are brought to light in this perceptive study. An introductory overview of the historiography of Native peoples in the early Southeast examines how the study of Native-colonial relations has changed over the last century. Daniel H. Usner Jr. reevaluates the Natchez Indians? ill-fated relations with the French and the cultural effects of Native population losses from disease and warfare during the eighteenth century. Usner next examines in detail the social and economic relations the Native peoples forged in the face of colonial domination and demographic decline, and he reveals how Natives adapted to the cotton economy, which displaced their familiar social and economic networks of interaction with outsiders. Finally, Usner offers an intriguing excursion into cultural criticism, assessing the effects of popular images of Natives from this region.
