The upcoming WRRC Conference, The Business of Water, will feature an exciting panel discussion during the luncheon session. Edward Drusina, Commissioner for the International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) and Salvador López-Córdova, Chief Environmental Officer for North American Development Bank (NADB) will join moderator Dr. Sharon Megdal for an informative discussion about binational cooperation and the intricacies of cross-border water management. International collaboration to sustainably manage shared aquifers is increasing in importance in arid areas, and the shared border is no exception. The IBWC provides binational solutions to issues such as water ownership, water quality and sanitation, and flood control, which arise during the application of treaties between the United States and Mexico. The NADB, which merged last year with the Border Environment Cooperation Commission (BECC), provides financing and technical assistance to support the development and implementation of infrastructure projects that help preserve, protect and enhance the environment of the border region.
