Guanajuato water infrastructure development

Overview

Officials in Guanajuato have clarified that the Solís-León Aqueduct project remains active to address water stress affecting millions of people across ten municipalities. Although the project lacks a specific line item in the 2027 Federal Expenditure Budget, Governor Libia Dennise García Muñoz Ledo stated it maintains support from both federal and state governments, noting that 520 million pesos have already been invested in irrigation technification and lining works.

Federal deputies indicated that while resources for water and complementary works are included under Conagua, ongoing dialogue is required with local farmers. Discussions are centered on compensating agricultural producers in the Solís Dam area who may be impacted by changes to water distribution systems and ensuring small-scale farmers can access resources for irrigation upgrades.
