Water management and concession regularization in Mexico

Overview

In August 2026, Mexico’s National Water Commission (Conagua) initiated a program to regularize expired water-concession titles in Oaxaca and the Pacific South region. The one-year regularization window, running from July 2026 to July 2027, aims to provide legal certainty for agricultural, municipal, domestic, livestock, and aquaculture users. Conagua officials described the initiative as “un acto de justicia social para nuestros productores y municipios del Pacífico Sur”. During this period, political representatives sought federal support to address the concerns of agricultural producers regarding water access in Querétaro and Oaxaca.

By September 2026, efforts to manage regional water challenges expanded to include municipal coordination. Ray Chagoya, the municipal president of Oaxaca de Juárez, organized a meeting with representatives from Conagua, the National Institute for Federalism and Municipal Development (INAFED), and various local authorities. The meeting focused on establishing a coordinated regional vision to manage water access and resource usage across different municipalities.
