Texas governor calls water deal between U.S., Mexico unacceptable WASHINGTON (AP) Texas Gov.

Rick Perry called an interim water-sharing agreement reached Thursday by the United States and Mexico "unacceptable" because it fails to address Mexico's huge outstanding water debt to his state. Mexico agreed to provide irrigation water to Texas farmers over the next nine months, a State Department official said. Formal announcement of the agreement is expected Friday. The official, asking not to be identified, said Mexico agreed to provide 350,000 acre-feet of water by Sept. 30 and an additional 50,000 more if climatic conditions permit.

Mexico will provide 200,000 acre-feet by the end of January, in time for the growing season. The agreement does not address the remainder of the water debt, which is based on a formula spelled out in a 1944 treaty. The two sides will address that issue later. Texas farmers claim Mexico's inability to meet its obligations has cost them nearly a billion dollars in lost crops since 1992. Perry considered the deal "unacceptable," said his spokeswoman, Kathy Walt.

"He would like the State Department to Mexico for delivery of press water as specified under the treaty and to tie all the negotiations to a long-term water delivery plan," Walt said. The 1944 treaty calls for Mexico to provide 365,000 acre-feet of water annually and for the United States to supply Mexico with four times that from the Colorado River. The United States has complied with the treaty. An acre-foot is the amount of irrigation water it takes to cover one acre to a depth of one foot. It equals 43,560 cubic feet.

State and federal officials say Mexico owes the United States about 1.5 million acre-feet of water, or more than 500 billion gallons. The debt began to mount about 10 years ago. Texas officials say farmers in the region have been hit hard by drought and depend on the water that has been withheld by Mexico. In a statement, Mexico's foreign relations department said the agreement "signified an important step for both countries toward an appropriate solution in a time of drought." A spokesman for President Vicente Fox said the president had no comment on the agreement. The agreement comes against Sympathy Arrangements Teleflora FLOWER SHOP Greenwood Flower Shop LLC Anne Tim Watkins 115-I Hampton Place Greenwood, SC 29646 (864) 223-0585 www.greenwoodflowershop.net 48813 W.

Fox had high hopes in 2001 for a migration agreement but the United States withdrew that issue from consideration after the Sept.

11 attacks. Mexico believes the United States has been focussing too much on border security and wants the Bush administration to discuss ways of addressing the needs of some 4 million undocumented aliens in the United States. Calls to Texas Agriculture Commissioner Susan Combs' office were not immediately returned Thursday. She has called for the United States to take aggressive action to enforce the treaty, including withholding some of the water owed to Mexico under the treaty as well as economic development funds. Combs said in November that Mexico has about 3 million acre-feet of water in reserve, compared to 1 million on reserve in the United States.
