Border agglomerations face distinctive sustainability challenges. This Sustainable Regional Systems planning grant is focused on water issues affecting three major zones along the U.S.-Mexico border that involve the San Diego/Tijuana, El Paso/Ciudad Juárez, and lower Rio Grande/Bajo Bravo Valley agglomerations. The project aims to map research resources, community partners, and the social infrastructure of these zones, and the participants will work collaboratively with border stakeholders to identify and prioritize water-related sustainability issues. Researchers from the University of Texas at El Paso, the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, and the University of California, San Diego will collaborate on two binational, bilingual workshops in each site to engage community partners and to delineate water issues, barriers, and assets. The team also will conduct a survey to offer a broader and more quantitative perspective on water issues, barriers, and assets. Finally, the researchers will pursue a systematic collection and analysis of existing data, literature, reports, etc. on water in these settings. Through these activities, the research team will co-generate knowledge with civil society and government across a border region defined by complex relations, inequalities, cultural and linguistic differences, and political division.Sustainability challenges intensify at linkage sites, such as international borders, where differentiated people, goods, values, and rules come together for exchange and intermediation. Urban-rural agglomerations at borders constitute a populous, rapidly growing cohort of distinctive regional units. The U.S.-Mexico border, the most populated seam between regions of differing wealth in the world, has amongst the largest, most dynamically growing, and most stressed agglomerations. This planning project will contribute to the field of sustainability by delineating three critical border dynamics including the mutual socio-environmental linkage of populations that are divided markedly by prosperity and capacities, the transboundary cooperation in sharing and management of common resources, and the coordination across divisions of government, culture, language, and data. In particular, the key scientific and public concept of “commons” will be challenged and further developed at border sites that represent populations divided by prosperity and other capacities that are inherently linked. Overall, this research work will build towards a fully co-produced research project on sustainable regional systems.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

边界聚集面临着独特的可持续性挑战。这项可持续的区域系统规划拨款侧重于影响美国 - 墨西哥边境沿线的三个主要区域的水问题，涉及圣地亚哥/蒂华纳，埃尔帕索/埃尔帕索/库达德·华雷斯和下里奥·格兰德/巴霍·布拉沃山谷集聚。该项目旨在绘制这些区域的研究资源，社区合作伙伴和社会基础设施，参与者将与边境利益相关者合作，确定和优先考虑与水相关的可持续性问题。得克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校，德克萨斯大学里奥格兰德分校和加利福尼亚大学圣地亚哥分校的研究人员将在每个站点的两个二进制双语研讨会上合作，以吸引社区合作伙伴并描述水问题，障碍，障碍和资产。该团队还将进行一项调查，以对水问题，障碍和资产提供更广泛，更定量的观点。最后，研究人员将在这些环境中对现有数据，文献，报告等进行系统的收集和分析。通过这些活动，研究团队将与民间社会和政府共同建立知识，跨越由复杂的关系，不平等，文化和语言差异以及政治分裂所定义的边境地区。在诸如国际边界（例如，差异化的人，商品，价值观和价值观和规则）共同交流和中间体的人，较大的人，商品，价值观和规则的挑战加剧。边界的城市农村聚集构成了人口众多的，迅速发展的独特区域单位。美国 - 墨西哥边界是世界上不同财富地区之间人口最多的接缝，是最大，动态增长和压力最大的集聚之一。该计划项目将通过描述三个关键边界动态，包括人口的共同社会环境联系，从而促进可持续性领域，这些人口的共享和能力，共享和管理共享和管理共享和管理共享和管理的跨界合作以及政府，文化，语言和数据的跨部门的协调。特别是，在代表人口繁荣和其他固有联系的人口的边界遗址，将对“共享”的关键科学和公共概念受到挑战并进一步发展。总体而言，这项研究工作将建立在一个完全共同制作的有关可持续区域系统的研究项目。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准，被视为通过评估而被视为珍贵的支持。
