He pointed out that more than three quarters of the Mexican population live in areas where water availability is scarce and 10 million people do not have access.
In Mexico, 8 of the 13 regions of the country suffer from water stress, warned Tania Mijares, director of Institutional Relations at Bustamante + Freyre, a firm specialized in environmental and energy issues, who highlighted that official figures show that 25 of the 32 states of the Republic face some degree of drought, and in the regions of Nuevo León, Tamaulipas and Coahuila the drought is extreme.
He added that on the list prepared by the World Chinese American Phone Number List Resources Institute (WRI), Mexico occupies 24th place in terms of greatest water stress out of a list of 164 countries, to which it must be added that in our country there are no public policies to address this problem.
“In Mexico the main environmental emergency has to do with the scarcity and poor management we do of our water resources. We need to design a preventive decision-making strategy, accompanied by a strong investment in infrastructure, consumer education and the implementation of forceful public policies in the face of scenarios of scarcity and legal uncertainty,” stressed the director of Institutional Relations of the Bustamante + Freyre firm. .
Tania Mijares commented that more than three quarters of the Mexican population, which represents 77%, live in areas where water availability is low and 10 million people do not have continuous and safe access, especially in peripheral areas. urban, marginal and in the countryside.
He said that inadequate treatment of urban and industrial water will deteriorate the quality of the water that we constantly recycle, this being one of the most important water vulnerability factors we face.
“To which must be added the lack of infrastructure, maintenance and obsolescence or leaks, to mention some of the main problems,” added the lawyer specializing in environmental and energy issues.
He pointed out that the regions of greatest water vulnerability in Mexico are: Metropolitan Area of Mexico City, the north and center of Sinaloa, the Conchos River basin, in Chihuahua and the Bajío Region, as well as the Metropolitan Area of Monterrey; However, states such as Veracruz, Oaxaca and Tabasco already face drought problems.
He explained that the Bustamante + Freyre office works with communities and private initiatives in the search for solutions for adequate management of water resources and in strengthening a culture that resizes our relationship with water, its use, management and reuse.
He warned that, in the case of the Metropolitan Area of Mexico City, it is where water is wasted the most, because while the national territory has an average water stress of 19%, in the Valley of Mexico it rises to 129%.
"26% of the inhabitants of Mexico City do not have a sufficient amount of water in their homes, 15% do not have daily service and almost 1.8 million inhabitants are supplied through tanker trucks and 70% have less than 12 hours of water available per day,” commented Tania Mijares.
