Water scarcity and flooding in Mexico and Guatemala

Overview

Extreme weather conditions have led to water-related crises across parts of Mexico and Guatemala. In early September, Yecapixtla, Mexico, experienced a severe drought impacting agriculture, while Cuautitlán Izcalli faced heavy flooding that overwhelmed infrastructure and entered homes.

By mid-September, water scarcity issues persisted. In Tejupilco, Mexico, emergency responders were forced to use buckets to fight a house fire due to a lack of conventional water supply. Simultaneously, authorities in Ciudad Vieja, Guatemala, issued urgent conservation pleas, threatening fines for citizens who waste potable water during local celebrations.
