As Drought Intensifies Across the U.S.–Mexico Border, $164 Million Water Investment Targets South Texas
· Texas Border Business
At the NADBank Summit in San Antonio, officials announced a nearly $164 million investment aimed at enhancing water conservation in South Texas, particularly in 12 irrigation districts of the Lower Rio Grande Valley. The North American Development Bank plans to allocate $76 million from its Water Resiliency Fund to projects that could save about 44,000 acre-feet of water annually. The funding will support improvements like canal lining and upgrading irrigation systems. This initiative is part of a broader effort to address water security challenges exacerbated by drought conditions along the U.S.–Mexico border, with additional projects planned in northern Mexico.
