Global municipal infrastructure and water management
Overview
Municipalities and regional governments across Spain, South America, and North America continue to implement diverse infrastructure, urban planning, and service management initiatives, with a heavy emphasis on water and sanitation. In Mexico, efforts to manage hydraulic capacity and sanitary infrastructure persist. In Puebla, Governor Alejandro Armenta Mier initiated a project to recover hydraulic capacity by removing debris from the Colombres crossing, while the state government launched a plan to pave 412 kilometers of roads. In Jalisco, the State Water Commission began desilting the Tecata dam to mitigate flood risks. In Mérida, authorities activated civil protection measures and desilted drainage systems in response to tropical storm Isaías. Sanitary and water upgrades are widespread. In the Dominican Republic, Inapa is prioritizing sanitation infrastructure to support industrial and tourism growth, while the CAASD is working to reduce water loss through a regional plan. In Peru, the Chavimochic Special Project is undergoing design and execution for new siphon components. In Brazil, municipalities like Nova Lima are implementing risk mapping to transition toward predictive flood management, while São Gonçalo is conducting drainage works to combat chronic flooding. Recent maintenance and cleaning operations have expanded. In Venezuela, the José Ángel Lamas municipality is performing cleaning, weeding, and pruning near roads and water wells. In Spain, the Paterna City Council removed 140,000 kilograms of pruning waste, while Gandia announced an 11 million euro investment plan to reduce flood risks through new storm tanks and early warning systems. In Mexico, Saltillo is maintaining storm grates and cleaning arroyos, while Mazatlán authorities have urged citizens to store water in anticipation of power outages. In Chile, the mayor of Ñuñoa has proposed requiring periodic certification of building drainage systems following flooding in San Eugenio.
