Mexico announces 17 water remediation projects across the nation
A desalination plant in Baja California. A large-scale water storage project in the Mexico City metropolitan area. A flood prevention initiative in Tabasco. A new system of reservoirs in Sonora. All these water infrastructure projects — and more than a dozen more — are slated to be built in the coming years in Mexico, a country where water scarcity is a major concern. National Water Commission (Conagua) General Director Efraín Morales said Wednesday at President Claudia Sheinbaum’s morning press conference that federal and state authorities will invest more than 120 billion pesos in strategic water infrastructure projects between 2025 and 2030.
