In a new collaborative report, information about the binational San Pedro River Aquifer is now available from both the United States and Mexico. The International Boundary and Water Commission, the Mexican National Water Commission, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the Universities of Arizona and Sonora released this report on December 20, 2016. This marks the first time that federal government and university scientists from both countries have collaborated to collect data and prepare binational and bilingual databases and maps of the aquifer. Findings in this report improve the understanding of groundwater flow and will create a foundation for future studies, advancing our knowledge of the hydrology of the binational aquifer.
