Water Management on the U.S.-Mexico Border
Shortly after being confirmed by the U.S. Senate in 2021, Commissioner Maria Elena Giner called for input into issues of importance to the U.S. Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission (USIBWC). Responding to her call, a group of border scholars committed to producing a white paper entitled “Water Management on the U.S.-Mexico Border: Achieving Water Sustainability and Resilience through Cross-Border Cooperation”. This document …

Water security
Towards characterizing the adaptive capacity of farmer-managed irrigation systems
Small-scale irrigation systems managed by farmers are facing multiple challenges including competing water demand, climatic variability and change, and socioeconomic transformation. Though the relevant institutions for irrigation management have developed coping and adaptation mechanisms, the intensity and frequency of the changes have weakened their institutional adaptive capacity. Using case examples mostly from Nepal, this paper studies the in…

Shared Borders, Shared Waters
Water Security and Adaptive Management in the Arid Americas
Societal use of freshwater, ecosystems’ dependence on water, and hydroclimatic processes interact dynamically. Changes in any of these subsystems can cause unpredictable feedback, resulting in water insecurity for humans and ecosystems. By drawing on resilience theory, we extend current productive–destructive framings of water security to better address societal–ecosystem–hydroclimatic (SEH) interactions, dynamics, and uncertainties that drive in…

Transboundary adaptive management to reduce climate-change vulnerability in the western U.S.–Mexico border region
Rethinking integrated assessments and management projects in the Americas
Adapting Across Boundaries
The spatial and human dimensions of climate change are brought into relief at international borders where climate change poses particular challenges. This article explores “double exposure” to climatic and globalization processes for the U.S.–Mexico border region, where rapid urbanization, industrialization, and agricultural intensification result in vulnerability to water scarcity as the primary climate change concern. For portions of the wester…
Hydrosolidarity and International Water Governance
In the first decade of the 21st century, 'hydrosolidarity,' the notion that water management should include considerations of ethics and equity, has influenced international approaches to conducting environmental research and formulating water policy. Since its inception in the 1990s, the term appears frequently across a spectrum of water-related research. It has accordingly permeated discourses and publications on water management. Such rapid pr…

The US-Mexico border region illustrates the challenges of binational environmental management in the context of a harsh physical environment, rapid growth, and economic integration. Transboundary and shared resources and conflicts include limited surface water supplies, depletion of groundwater, air and water pollution, hazardous waste, and conservation of important natural ecosystems. Public policy responses to environmental problems on the bord…
The U.S.‐Mexican Border Environment Cooperation Commission
This article assesses the first two years’ activities of the Border Environment Cooperation Commission (BECC), and synthesizes the invited commentary from several BECC observers along both sides of the border. As a framework for assessment, the paper delineates several key elements of BECC's design—namely, its binationality, openness to the public, and the existence of criteria for project certification—that give the institution the potential to …
North Indian banjaras
Banjaras have been visible on the Indian scene for more than seven hundred years. While orders have crumbled, these nomadic communities have demonstrated their versatility by surviving several onslaughts against their way of life. Primarily military transporters during the turbulent mediaeval age, they endured the effects of a peace that had pre‐empted their livelihood. Attempts to resume their original profession as goods carriers failed in the …
