Red River Compact Commission information


Member states of the Red River Compact Commission
Red River watershed

The Red River Compact was signed by the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma[1] and Texas to avoid disputes over the waters of the Red River in 1978, although Congress had authorized the compact in 1955.[2] The Red River Compact Commission has nine commissioners, two from each member state and one federal representative appointed by the President of the United States.

Although the Red River Compact has provisions for how much water each state can use or store from the Red River Basin, the Commission is a means of working out issues and problems, and this has reduced the chances of litigation. In recent years, the Commission has addressed problems of water quality and pollution, as well as questions of quantity.
