Description: "This book presents the views of irrigation water users and managers who experienced two critical and emblematic transboundary water conflicts in the lower Colorado River that affected the people's daily lives, particularly in the Mexicali Valley region.  While analyzing both the Colorado River Salinity Problem in the 1960s and the All-American Canal Lining divergence in the 2000s, the institutional analysis approach employed in this book has a comprehensive scope that describes in detail the features of the conflicts, as well as the changes in people's ways of participating in facing such crises"--Page 4 of cover.
