Osgood University ofArizona, Tucson, USA Abstract: Negotiations between the United States and Mexico over the scale, location, and financing of water treatment facilities serving border twin cities are often protracted, leaving water pollution problems unresolved for several years. Agreements reached have been reactive to immediate health emergencies, lim- ited in scope, and have failed to address market failures contrib- uting to pollution in the first place. Institutions and programs arising out of the La Paz Agreement and environmental concerns over NAFTA have helped both nations plan, build, and finance new facilities in a more coordinated and proactive manner. Yet, the goal ofdeveloping locally self-financing municipal water sys- tems on both sides of the border has remained elusive. To illus- trate, we use a case study of negotiations over water resources shared by Nogales, Arizona and Nogales, Sonora.

Las nuevas instituciones creadaspara abordar laspreocupaciones ambientales generadas por el NAFTA (Tratado de Libre Comercio) han ayudado a los dos paises a planear, construir yfinanciar nuevas instalaciones de unaforma mds coordinaday activa.
