Cities in Mexico are at risk of running out of clean drinking water due to low-capacity reservoirs and diminished aquifers caused by droughts during the El Niño season.
The water crisis will likely persist in the coming months due to a lack of rainfall; however, Mexico’s government has announced intentions to repair and create water infrastructure to help mitigate the water shortage, which will affect water flow throughout the cities. Demonstrations and roadblocks in response to the ongoing water crisis have caused travel disruptions throughout several cities.
