NASHVILLE, TENN. (RFD NEWS) — The U.S. Supreme Court has approved a settlement ending a 13-year legal battle over Rio Grande water sharing between Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado.
The agreement establishes a new system to monitor water deliveries to Texas and sets limits on how far Mexico can fall behind on its treaty obligations. The dispute began in 2013 when Texas argued that water use in New Mexico was reducing downstream flows.
Officials say the settlement provides long-term certainty and shifts the focus from litigation to managing water resources across the drought-prone region.
