Water scarcity and management issues in Spain and Mexico
Overview
Water management and availability issues have been reported across various regions in Spain and Mexico. In the Basque Country, reservoir reserves have declined to approximately 77% of total capacity, falling below the ten-year average. Meanwhile, in Yucatán, residents have protested low water pressure and service interruptions, while concerns persist regarding the vulnerability of the karst aquifer to contaminants.
As the situation progressed, localized shortages intensified. In San Luis Potosí, Mexico, residents in neighborhoods such as La Loma Club de Golf and Lomas del Tecnológico reported being without potable water for several days, forcing them to purchase expensive water tankers. In La Granja, Spain, local authorities described the water scarcity as the “worst on record” regarding stored levels. To address this, officials are debating a 2.2 million euro infrastructure project to modernize pumping stations and pipes to reduce dependence on mountain reserves.
