(McAllen, Texas, December 18, 2025) Mexico Agrees to Meet Water Treaty Obligations for Farmers in the American Southwest. On December 12, 2025, the United States and Mexico reached an understanding to meet the current water obligations of American farmers and ranchers and for Mexico to repay the water deficit in Texas as part of the 1944 Water Treaty. This agreement extends to the current cycle and the previous cycle’s water deficit. For more information, see www.usda.gov/about-usda/news/press-releases/2025/12/12/me...
The Rio Grande (on the right/south) is the lifeline of South Texas agriculture, and its flow is shaped by an international agreement—the 1944 Mexico Water Treaty. This treaty ensures that water from six Mexican tributaries is shared between Mexico and the United States. The U.S. receives one-third of the natural flows, while Mexico retains two-thirds. Mexico must order the release of their share in specified amounts. In this case Mexico has agreed to release 202,000-acre feet of water to the United States with deliveries expected to begin the week of December 15, 2025. The US/Mexico water is stored in two major international reservoirs: Amistad Dam near Del Rio and Falcon Dam near Zapata. Amistad holds most of the water because its depth reduces evaporation. When irrigation districts downstream need water, the Rio Grande Watermaster orders releases from Falcon Dam. For Edcouch, Texas, water takes about a few days to travel from Falcon. As the water flows down the Rio Grande, some is diverted by the Hidalgo County Irrigation District No. 2 pumping station (center), which serves McAllen and surrounding areas. The pump station uses up to ten 400 horsepower pumps to take up water in submerged 42-inch uptake pipes, lifts it 32 feet, when the flow is measured as it is discharged at a capacity of up to 680 cubic feet per second into a main canal. This process ensures that every drop is accounted for—meeting agricultural needs while minimizing freshwater loss to the gulf.
Today, two pumps provide the flow needed by the system. Water will flow in the primary delivery canal for a short distance into a nearby settling pond (left) to help clarify the water before continuing into a main conveyance channel that leads north, through McAllen, Texas. Smaller channels or pipelines will branch off to municipal and irrigation water districts such as the Delta Lake Irrigation District and it’s Delta Lake Reservoir, with the capacity of 10,669 acre-feet of water and a surface area of 2,371 acres. Delta Lake Irrigation District currently serves 69,500 acres and diverts municipal water to the City of Raymondville, La Sara, Monte Alto and the City of Lyford. Their irrigation canals flow to the farms where growers such as the Edinburg Citrus Association then use their pump houses to draw the water and distribute it to their fields using pressurized pipelines for drip irrigation systems that deliver life-giving water to the grapefruit orchards. Their micro-irrigation tubes/tapes deliver a slow flow to the base of each tree to increase absorption into the soil, reduce evaporation, runoff and unwanted growth between the rows and other benefits.
The organization that diverts water from the Rio Grande for irrigation and municipal use in Texas is managed under the Rio Grande Watermaster Program, which operates under the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The Rio Grande Watermaster Program is a system managed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) that oversees and regulates the use of water from the Rio Grande in Texas. Its main job is to make sure water is distributed fairly and according to legal water rights. The Watermaster calculates how much water is needed by farmers, cities, and industries, then orders releases from reservoirs like Falcon Dam and Amistad Dam. It also tracks water as it flows down the river to ensure that every drop goes to the correct user and that as little as possible is wasted or flows into the gulf.
In 1932, a group of South Texas citrus growers came together to form the Edinburg Citrus Association (ECA), a non-profit co-op. The goal of the group is to maintain the highest quality pack and provide customers a highly marketable product at a competitive price.

As obras do programa Vila Viva seguem aceleradas na Barragem Santa Lúcia e os conjuntos residenciais surgem em diversos pontos do aglomerado. Tudo isso não acontece sem despertar muita curiosidade nas pessoas, principalmente nos moradores do local.
Pensando nisso, a equipe social do programa Vila Viva, em conjunto com a Escola Estadual Dona Augusta Gonçalves Nogueira, organizou uma apresentação sobre as obras e uma visita aos apartamentos. A iniciativa foi de encontro aos projetos da escola “Educação para a Vida” e “Eu Cidadão de minha Comunidade”, que têm o intuito de promover a inserção das crianças e dos jovens em ações positivas no meio em que vivem.

‘Navidad en el corazón de México’ presentado por la Escuela de Danza de la Ciudad de México del Centro Cultural Ollin Yoliztli
El Centro Cultural Ollin Yoliztli (CCOY), institución de la Secretaría de Cultura de la Ciudad de México dedicada a la educación artística desde 1979, celebrará su 45 aniversario con diversas actividades, como conciertos, una muestra fotográfica y espectáculos multidisciplinarios de música, teatro y circo
Se trata de un festejo en el que las escuelas y proyectos que han surgido de las entrañas del CCOY en sus 45 años de vida mostrarán por qué este espacio se ha consolidado como una figura preponderante en el mapa de las instituciones profesionales de educación artística de mayor reconocimiento en el país.
Tal es el caso de la Escuela de Música “Vida y Movimiento”, Escuela de Iniciación a la Música y a la Danza, Escuela de Danza Contemporánea, Escuela de Danza Clásica, Escuela de Danza de la Ciudad de México, Escuela de Música del Rock a la Palabra, Escuela de Mariachi Ollin Yoliztli en Garibaldi, la Licenciatura en Artes Circenses Contemporáneas del Cirko de Mente, Programa de Orquestas Juveniles y Coros de la Ciudad de México “Fernando Lozano”, que en conjunto cumplen con el objetivo de ampliar el abanico de interacciones entre los lenguajes artísticos legitimados históricamente con aquellos que surgen en nuestra contemporaneidad.
Por ello, este especial festejo por sus 45 años es una semblanza del largo recorrido que el CCOY ha transitado desde sus inicios, con la creación de la Escuela de Música “Vida y Movimiento” para formar a los músicos de la Orquesta Filarmónica de la Ciudad de México, la agrupación bandera de la institución y de la Secretaría de Cultura capitalina.

Audrey An explores the notion of home, where furniture in domestic spaces becomes a repository for physical remnants of accumulated memories, shaping and reflecting one's identity. Drawing inspiration from Korean historical furniture, artifacts, and cross-cultural iconographies, in "Wishful Things”, An creates hypothetical spaces that embrace emotional states of oscillation between cultures, offering a venue for reflection and self-personification through inanimate-objects.
An explores the condition of being a 1.5 generation Korean-American, an ‘in-betweener’ who is not quite first or second generation enough. Through wishful object-making and their curation, she examines this in-betweenness, the embodiment of emotional oscillation to seek balance. Similarly to the way she moves fluidly between the two languages she speaks, An approaches her studio practice as a form of ‘code-switching’ between physical and digital work, as well as between clay and other materials such as plastic, wood, and foam. Her practice also navigates the spectrum between the analog handling of clay and digital fabrication methodologies, creating multifaceted visual renderings of objects noting on how we often remember things: sometimes exaggerated, somewhat fabricated, and glitched in low-resolution. These objects then come together as physical collages of organic and mechanized tension reflecting the complex and fragmented, but essentially harmonious feelings that transcend the cultural oscillations.
2022-2024 Ceramics Program Artist In Residence Audrey An’s creative research revolves around the notion of applying digital technologies to ceramics from the perspective of ‘convergence,’ whether it be cultural, technological, or interdisciplinary. She earned her BFA and Art History Minor from New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University, an MFA from Penn State University, and was a post-baccalaureate student at Colorado State University. Audrey has participated in artist residency programs at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts (Deer Isle, ME), Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts (Newcastle, ME) and was selected as Ceramics Monthly 2023 Emerging Artist.
