Change in international water treaty too late for one Texas farmer

An agreement between the United States and Mexico to revise an 80 year old water treaty comes too late for one Mercedes, Texas, farmer who is giving up his crops because of a lack of water from the Rio Grande. Mexico owes over 1 million acre feet of water to the U.S. U.S. International Boundary and Water Commissioner Maria-Elena Giner says this change will allow Mexico to pay faster.
