They suffer from dams in the north of the country; Some of them are 0 % of their ability

Las Border countries with border with USA We are At the lowest historical storage levelsAnd only starts The heat of the year season.

Human consumption depends on these tanksThe sector Agriculturethe industry As well as compliance with Water Treaty of 1944.

We recommend: Spring arrived with drought conditions for the country; Low -level dams

According to the national water information system and the main dams control in Mexico, 41 northern tanks they 47.4 % of its capacityOn average.

Straw some What It was reported practically drylike Abilardo L. Rodriguez, in Hermosilo, Sonora0.0 %, or at 1 % Adolfo Ruiz Cortines, in álamos.

Rosario SanchezResearcher Texas Institute for Water ResourcesRemember that 2025 will be one of the hottest years in history And predictions are not positive.

In an interview, he said that The government should not be optimistic anymore Which – which Improving climatic conditions. “At least in the past thirty years, the country is betting on summer rains, but this is luxury.”

Northwest dams, is about to collapse

In northern Mexico he Preyin Border countriesWhich human consumption, agriculture, industry and compliance with Water Treaty of 1944, in tormentBecause the tanks are in Less historical levels Once the most dry and hot season begins in the year, the maximum temperatures increase the evaporation, while consumption is intensified.

According to the national water information system and the main dams control in Mexico, There are 41 tanks in the border states with American Federationany They are 47.4 % of their abilityBut it is present 10 dams with risk levels:

Abilardo L. Rodriguez in Hermosilo, by 0.0 %; Adolvo Ruiz Cortin in Alamos, by 1 %; Cuuhtémoc Dam on a altar, to 3 %; Rudolfo Felix, 4 %; IGNACIO ALATORRE, to 7 % and Lzaro Cárdenas, to 9 %, both Sonora; While in Chihuahua Las Lagas Dam is 7 %. Ink, to 10 %; And the virgins, to 12 %; While the FALCón International Dam, in Tamaulipas, is 9 %, which is an worrying level given that water will be extracted to send to the United States.

Among the most anxious cases There too Friendship, in the KawaullaWith only 12.7 % FillThe controversy erupted in the municipality of Akoyana, which has accused huge extracts yet President Donald Trump threatening Fool Definitions to Mexico if it does not cover its water debts With the United States.

One of the situations that most specialists take away is this The entire border area is a red axis Climate And the diagnosis in the summer is that it is one of the most important and drought in history.

at the moment, 59.3 percent of national lands in droughtA total of 292 municipalities without water, highlighting the 100 % dehydration in Sonora, Cenalwa, Baja California, Baja California Sur, Chihua and Durango; Dry Bastos lands in Koahlala, Nayarit and Ganjato.

To confront The effects of climate change And guarantee Human right From the population To water in Quality and quantityhe Mexico government Presented National Water Plan Who is considering arranging concessions, agricultural activities technology, sanitation for rivers, and enhancing the development of 16 strategic projects to provide drinking water for larger areas of water stress, with population protection work.

For example, In Sonora where the dam system is 15 % From its ability and where there is currently Unlocked bridge and six tanks with storage less than 8 %, the plan National waters think about building From others Three dams to supply Hermosilo residents, the capital of the state.

The three dams project will require a Budget of 7500 million peso Its construction will start this year with a preliminary budget of 500 million peso.

at the moment, Hermosillo already has a SodanAbelaardo l. rodríGuez, completely dry, and Rudolfo Felix Valdez MulinitoIt is 3.9 % of its ability; The idea of ​​building three other dams: in Sinquipe, on the Sonora River, in Purta del Sol and Las Chivas, on the San Miguel de Horcasitas River, the collection of water, when it rains and leads to the Sonora capital with a channel.

In the face of this, there is a movement ecologistThe agricultural producers and the residents of the villages who are scattered on the construction of the three dams that are opposed to their construction because they claim that they have not been consulted, and that they will be affected, and that they are not aware of the executive project and that the dams do not have an environmental impact statement; They also ask about the construction of three other dams in the ponds with dry dams.

*Advocates to protect the environment, agricultural producers and residents
They protested against building three other dams in Sonora.

“It is a risk -fraught with climate to settle water delivery.”

Historically it is The Mexican government chose the weather And that in Rainy season There will be storms and tropical hurricanes They will prepare dam levelsbut This strategy is fraught with risks and irresponsibleto caution Dr. Rosario SanchezSenior research scientists Texas Institute for Water ResourcesThose who remember that we are facing one of the hottest years in history and that the expected point is bad Climate conditions

The levels of the dam are not represented in the production of water, what is coming in the future is complicated if the good climatic conditions are not what Mexico is betting on, because it has always done so, at least in the past thirty years, the country bets on the summer rains, but this is luxury, betting on these conditions, it is a luxury that we cannot give ourselves to international treatment.

Rosario SanchezWho is more than 15 years old studying systems Patriotic waterHe said that so far Mexico complied with the fair In that Water Treaty of 1944And he still has six months to provide a total of 2185 million cubic meters of water USABut he said that President Trump’s administration is pressure to prevent the country from falling into a deficit, which is a planned mechanism in the bilateral treaty, which allows this administration Claudia Shinbom Delivery of water less than Rio Bravo, before Severe drought conditions In the border area.

Mexico does not condemn anything, only this 36th session, what the United States is trying to avoid is that Mexico falls into the deficit, as the treaty allows, because if it falls into its deficiency, this is less than water, that is, less commitment, the treaty allows it to enjoy this flexibility; If there is not enough water, the deficit comes, and it can do so legally. He explained that Mexico is currently compatible with the treaty, which is the problem is that this flexibility granted by the treaty no longer reflects the real needs and much less than the United States, every (both sides of the borders) suffers from the same shortage of water.

The 36th session, where the two countries are currently inside Water Treaty of 1944It started on October 25, 2020, and it will end on October 24, in 2025. The annual commitment is 431.7 million cubic meters; But to cut March 15, 2025, Mexico I only delivered 602.7 million cubic meters.

Last week, Trump launched another threat: “I will make sure that Mexico does not violate our treaties or damage our farms in Texas.

at the moment Mexico accumulates more than three years Delivery of water to the United States due to dehydration, needs to comply with 72 percent of commitment.

The last minute news is achieved here
