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.

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.
