德克萨斯州农场组织警告称,由于墨西哥根据 1944 年水条约规定供水量过低,本季柑橘和糖料作物将遭遇灾难性损失。 Texas farm groups warn of a disastrous citrus and sugar crop season due to Mexico's low water deliveries under the 1944 water treaty.
在美国和墨西哥官员试图解决长期存在的水资源条约争端之际,德克萨斯州农业团体警告称,本季柑橘和糖料作物将遭遇灾难。 Texas farm groups warn of a disastrous season for citrus and sugar crops as US and Mexico officials attempt to resolve a long-standing dispute over a water treaty. 1944 年签订的条约分配了共享的水资源,规定墨西哥在五年内从格兰德河向美国输送 175 万英亩英尺的水。 The 1944 treaty allocates shared water resources, with Mexico required to send 1.75 million acre-feet of water from the Rio Grande to the US over a five-year cycle. 然而,墨西哥本轮供水量仅达到预期供水量的30%左右,为1992年以来的最低水平,导致水资源短缺并加剧了政治紧张局势。 However, Mexico has only sent about 30% of its expected deliveries in the current cycle, the lowest amount since 1992, leading to water shortages and added political tensions.
