Authorities in Mexico are implementing various water conservation and awareness initiatives across different regions.

In Morelos and Tamaulipas, efforts have focused on childhood education. Programs in Temixco utilize interactive workshops to teach preschool students about the water cycle and the protection of the Río Apatlaco. In Ciudad Victoria, officials are encouraging families to involve children in household water-saving habits to reduce waste during periods of scarcity.

In Tijuana and Playas de Rosarito, the Tijuana State Public Services Commission (CESPT) launched the ‘Detrás del Agua’ (Behind the Water) campaign. This initiative aims to educate residents on the complex infrastructure required to transport water from the Colorado River and highlights issues such as vandalism and household leaks. CESPT Director General Mónica Vega Aguirre noted that the supply travels over 2,000 kilometers through various pipelines and infrastructure, including the El Carrizo dam, involving approximately 1,750 workers. The campaign emphasizes the costs of energy and maintenance, while reminding citizens that using hoses to wash sidewalks is prohibited and subject to sanctions.

Recent reports confirm that the CESPT is continuing its water conservation campaign efforts in Tijuana.
