Allow me to make some corrections to the article: Texas is entitled to 1/3 of the flow of the Rio Conchos, or a minimum of 350,000 acre feet/year. The treaty covers flows of the Rio Conchos mainstem only, not the tributaries. This has been Chihuahua's defense. They are saying that the waters accumulated there are from the tribs.

Mexico wante to renegotiate both the 1906 and 1944 treaties. They also want to renegotiate the minute agreements of the 1944 treaty that Presidente Salinas signed in contemplation of getting NAFTA thru the US Congress. The US should stay away from renegotiating because both treaties heavily favor the US.

How long will it be before the UN decides that any treaty that strongly favor a 'powerful country' is illegal?
