Water Infrastructure Projects Launched in Mexico and Spain

In Quintana Roo, Mexico, the state water commission (CAPA) approved contracts for three drainage works in Tulum and Chetumal, with a combined investment exceeding 29 million pesos. The projects include a 10‑inch emitter pipe in Tulum, replacement of sewage collectors in Chetumal, and a comprehensive rehabilitation of the municipal water network in the state capital. Seven construction firms submitted bids, with the lowest offers ranging from about 4.7 million to 11.2 million pesos per work package. The aim is to eliminate recurring sanitation risks, improve basic services and protect the regional aquifer.

In Granada, Spain, the municipal water utility Emasagra secured 7 million euros—72.25 % financed by EU funds—to develop the Covagua project. The initiative will transform two eco‑factories into an "Ecofactoría Inteligente" by 2029, using artificial intelligence, digital twins and biogas production to turn waste into resources, optimise energy use and reduce prediction errors in energy demand. The project supports the city's broader climate‑neutrality goals and the circular‑economy transition of its water cycle.
