S. 214, introduced by Senator Bingaman and supported by our Arizona colleague Congressman Jim Kolbe, authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to cooperate on a study on the Mexican border of transboundary aquifers. As the population in this arid region continues to grow, the importance of water cannot be overstated. This legislation will help provide the scientific foundation necessary for Federal, State, and local officials to address pressing water resource challenges. This includes researching, mapping, and modeling of these aquifers along our shared border. Because these aquifers do not recognize international borders, it is essential that any research involve the cooperation and participation of both countries. I urge my colleagues to support this legislation.
