    The paper presents an existence analysis for solutions to the initial-value problem for a two-component Camassa-Holm system for waves on shallow water, \[ m_t+um_x +2mu_x = -\rho\tilde{\rho}_x, \quad \rho_t +(\rho u)_x = 0, \] where \(m = u - u_{xx}\) and \(\rho = (1 - \partial_x^2)(\tilde{\rho} - \tilde{\rho}_0)\). Unlike the usual Camassa-Holm equation, this system is not integrable. The subject of the paper is the existence of global solutions to this problem. To this end, the existence of weak solutions is first proven for a regularized version of the system, which includes viscosity, and then a transition to the zero-viscosity limit is considered. No proof of the uniqueness of the so obtained solutions is provided.
