On April 1, 2024 a year ago, the products were 34.7% capacity, which was less than 20% of the current water levels.
Although this is a relief for millions of people who rely on Surakshamala for its water, Konakua data shows that the current situation is significantly lower than average. By 2020, the products were 73.3% capacity, and in 2019, Kutzamala was packed with 82%.
The annual rainy season of Mexico city, usually runs from May to September, which can be complex. Almost two months late for the last year to arriveTriggers actual concerns Mexico City may face a day zero.
