I think that your second request will be perfectly satisfied by the existence from 1816 through 1919 of a condominium called Neutral Moresnet between Belgium and the Netherlands. The purpose was to provide joint access to a zinc mine. See www.free-definition.com/Moresnet.html for details and search the web for "Neutral Moresnet" for more. To the extent that water is a resource, the USA and Mexico have an extensive system of jointly operated dams, canals, sewage treatment plants and other projects to manage the waters of the Rio Grande and the Colorado River and to apportion the national ownership of the waters stored in reservoirs. These are run pursuant to treaties by the International Boundary and Water Commission, which is a joint of the two governments. Lowell G.
