Martí Batres, the head of Government, confirmed that there are multiple water infrastructure projects currently in progress in Mexico City. This comes after the announcement of a decrease in water flow from 8m3 to 6m3 from the Cutzamala System to the Valley of Mexico.
During the inauguration of the rehabilitation of the Rowing and Canoeing Track “Virgilio Uribe” in Xochimilco, Batres was questioned about the water situation. He mentioned that there are over 20 hydraulic projects underway in the city to address the issue.
“We are currently focused on these water projects, with more than 20 hydraulic works being carried out in Mexico City. We are committed to improving the water infrastructure in the city,” said Batres.
The Organization of the Basin of Waters of the Valley of Mexico (OCAVM) recently announced the reduction of water flow from eight to six cubic meters per second due to low levels in the reservoirs. This reduction highlights the importance of ongoing water projects to ensure a stable water supply for the residents of Mexico City.
Improving water infrastructure is crucial for addressing water scarcity issues and ensuring access to clean water for all residents. The completion of these projects will not only increase water availability but also strengthen the resilience of the city’s water supply system.
Investing in water infrastructure is essential for sustainable development and the well-being of the population. It is encouraging to see the government’s commitment to addressing water challenges through various projects across the city.
In addition to the ongoing projects, it is important for residents to also play a role in water conservation efforts. Simple actions like fixing leaks, using water-saving devices, and being mindful of water usage can make a significant impact on overall water conservation efforts.
Overall, the expansion of water works in Mexico City is a positive step towards ensuring a reliable and sustainable water supply for the growing population. With continued investment and community involvement, the city can work towards a more water-secure future for all its residents.
