Developments in Tamaulipas, Mexico, involve diverse local issues ranging from infrastructure disputes to resource management. In Ciudad Victoria, residents have protested against Ferromex, claiming the company has blocked a critical drainage project for two and a half years, leading to sewage runoff in residential areas and schools.

Regarding water security, the Tamaulipas Secretariat of Hydraulic Resources for Social Development updated its Water Care Semaphore. Due to low storage levels in the La Amistad and Falcón international dams, ten municipalities in the northern border region, including Matamoros and Nuevo Laredo, as well as Ciudad Victoria and Tula, have been placed in the ‘red zone’ for water availability.
