1 1 NOAA/National Weather Service John Halquist

2 2 River Forecasting along US/Mexico border

3 3 Basin Partners IBWC/CILA –International Boundary and Water Commission/ Comision Nacional de Limites y Aguas –Mirror agencies in US (HQ – El Paso) and Mexico (HQ – Ciudad Juarez) –Manage the 1944 treaty governing the Rio Grande –Operates two mainstem reservoirs (Amistad and Falcon) and mainstem stream gauges CONAGUA –Comision Nacional Del Agua (National Water Commission of Mexico – HQ Mexico City) –Operates reservoirs and stream gauging on internal Mexican tributaries SMN – Servicio Nacional de Meteorologico (National Weather Service of Mexico) –Component of CONAGUA –Operates precipitation gauging throughout Mexico –Refurbishing old and deploying new radars in Mexico (potential for two radars in Rio Grande/Rio Bravo Basin)

4 4 Bi-National Data Exchange Working Group Partners –CONAGUA/SMN –IBWC/CILA –NWS –TCEQ – Texas Commission on Environmental Quality –USGS Pursuing Need for Automated Real-time Data –Precipitation –River level and flow –Reservoir level and discharges Two Meetings in 2011 Developing “Community Data Warehouse” –Hosted by IBWC –Agencies post and retrieve data as needed –West Gulf RFC posting daily Rio Grande forecasts

5 5 Radar Coverage in Basin Effective Total Coverage (Warm Season) Radar Beam Heights (Warm Season)

6 6 Precipitation Gaging in Basin Automated precipitation data received via satellite Precipitation data for remainder of basin received hourly or daily via FTP retrieval from CONAGUA/SMN

7 7 Stream Flow Data in Basin Automated stream flow data received via satellite: 8 locations on the Rio Conchos tributary of the Rio Grande Manual stream flow data received semi- weekly or monthly via IBWC
