One of the water in electricity, many people will not continue to think: its existence is only known by the absence of it.
Increasingly, the lack of water puts its presence – or not – before the mind.
A good friend of mine told me During last year’s extended spring drought The water ration in my city stuck with me. Activists in Pueubla had turned off the pipe that was supplied directly to our city to our city. They were angry because they needed water to fight against the wildfire.
“With this water problem, we are always two weeks away from the total social decline,” my friend said.
Oh, alas. She’s right.
Throughout the spring months in Salaba last year, protests sprouted around the city. Some Colonies (Neighborhoods) Weeks went without water. When this happened, the authorities would sometimes take drastic measures, such as blocking the main roads until they find a solution.
Honestly, who can blame them? Water may be our most fundamental requirement, and is important for health: can you imagine that you couldn’t wash your food for two entire weeks? Or, Like… Your Butt?
When the materials are scarce – they are often – the city’s Water Authority releases a rationing table. Different colonials take turns every few days, and the announcements go out: “Colonia Japada will have to pay water to them in these seven days next month. Here’s the table: Plan accordingly. ”
In my home, we do not use a lot of water, which means that when there is rationing, we do not usually notice. It is not because we are very conscientious, but because we do not think that this is a Humble Brack, but we are dirty hipples, so often we do not pour as much as we need to do.
Anyway. We have made many loads on a “off” day and used all the saved TinacoThe giant plastic “rotoplas” cylinder is most likely that most people have on their roofs.
In the meantime, how is the water in these different places? In order to have water for houses, You have enough pressure on you. To put enough pressure, there should be enough water to pump. Since most of the people’s dinacos are on their roofs, these homes will not get water if there is insufficient pressure. The distribution issue is more about gravity than you think.
Some houses have a fort on the ground and a “Bamba” (a pump), which may help these events. This is a good feature of storing excess water as long as you need, and the “spillover” captures when Tinago is then packed. Some houses operate without a tinago, and when the water pressure from the city is not enough to do this work, a cesarana is injected with their own electric pump with their own electric pump.
So they are dynamics. What I am more interested is that this water really comes from.
This is an important question as climate change and urbanization are increasingly spreading. Especially the panic trump angry machine raising his head in Mexico Would have been a regular water supply in general. The water in the north and southwestern United States, you know, shortage.
As always, President Shinbam’s response Measured and assured – “Don’t worry, we are dealing with it” – but we can really believe.
We have received a deal with the US on the water on the border. Elderly infrastructure, declining water supply and increased agriculture on both sides lead to this deal. There are plans for that Major infrastructure plans across the country. Great! In the meantime, is this enough?
In any case, where does Mexico’s water come from?
This simple question is really complicated, and is slightly less than to ask where the wind comes from. Fracture Here:
About 37% of water It is injected into our homes and the businesses come from water bodies or groundwater. It is discharged for our use and must be filled with rainwater. However, for the city of Mexico, the covered areas of the concrete are not good to allow rainwater to the ground.
60% of the water used in Mexico The surface comes from water, such as rivers, lakes and streams.
Of course, to distribute this water to the parts of Mexico without much water, it requires a wide network to get it to them. When there is plenty of water to go around, it is not a problem. But when the drought prevented filling our joint distribution, there are demonstrations as I mentioned above.
For now, things are quiet. In Mexico, about three -quarters of water goes to agriculture; Is fair. We all have to eat. About 15% goes to homes and businessAnd I suspect that about 5%of the industries that take their water directly from the source, that number is low.
For example, in the nearest Cottebag, Coca -Cola and Nestle, even though residents are left without residents, have a direct control of almost half of the aquifers.
As a result, you can imagine that that kind of anger will be paid towards these companies when the products are low.
What does this spring bring?
Here in Salaba, at least so far, in Salaba, I am cautious and confident. But we are now entering the dog days, so you have nothing to say yet. Dandios .
Meanwhile, everyone will pray Tlalob. All these new water infrastructure projects can be supported by our eyes.
