Binational reflections on pathways to groundwater security in the Mexico-United States borderlands
Shared groundwater resources between Mexico and the United States are facing unprecedented stressors. We reflect on how to improve water security for groundwater systems in the border region. Our reflection begins with the state of groundwater knowledge, and the challenges groundwater resources face from a physical, societal and institutional perspective. We conclude that the extent of ongoing cooperation frameworks, joint and remaining research efforts, from which alternative strategies can emerge, still need to be developed. The way forward offers a variety of cooperation models as the future offers rather complex, shared and multidisciplinary water challenges to the Mexico–US borderlands

The Water Footprint Concept and Water's Grand Environmental Challenges
Widespread water scarcity, water pollution, and depletion of freshwater resources are among the grand environmental challenges of the 21st century related to water. Central to these challenges is the fact that humanity uses too much water. But what are we using all that water for? The water footprint concept can help answer this question, and more. Addressing the relation between human freshwater consumption and water's grand environmental challenges, the water footprint concept resonates with stakeholders within and beyond the walls of science. This Primer describes the basics of the water footprint concept, how it works, and why it came about. Drawing from recent studies in the new research field of Water Footprint Assessment, it highlights some intriguing applications and delves into what is next on the exciting interdisciplinary research agenda
