@rhett_larson señala que la politización del agua es latente, con actores interesados en ambos países. Destaca que la seguridad fronteriza y la migración generan implicaciones hídricas, como el caso del río San Pedro, cuya posible militarización podría afectar zonas como Cananea

@rhett_larson menciona que el reto no siempre radica en la distribución o la jurisdicción del agua, sino en lo que el agua representa: soberanía, respeto y reconocimiento. Aumentar la disponibilidad no resolverá los conflictos si el fondo del problema es simbólico-político.

@rhett_larson destaca que la desalinización representa un futuro prometedor para México y Estados Unidos, pero es fundamental establecer prioridades claras, mejorar el monitoreo, compartir datos y fortalecer la cooperación bilateral.
