water supply

[McNally del Campo]

Hello everyone, I did some searching around and came up with two finds. Like most of Mexico, the idea I get is that 1) the area has been built up quicker than the infrastructure can support, and 2) there isn't enough groundwater resources to support the usage. I have links to them here-----

One of them is a set of presentation slides, mostly addressing water supply infrastructure in the city. The english translation isn't that great, which makes some details difficult to understand. Also, the data is dated, so it leaves me guessing about the last 13 years for some parts.

The other is a journal article, written by someone at the University of Guanajuato. The information is interesting, such as decreasing aquifer levels (he cites 10 feet per year in some areas), the high use of water for agriculture (87%), and the main point of the paper-- the correlation between higher temperatures and decreased rainfall.

If anyone is interested in a discussion, I would be happy to learn more.
