Mexico - May 2024
Water scarcity plagues CDMX, Edomex
Data from Mexico’s national meteorological service (SMN) has revealed that, as of 15 April, Mexico was experiencing its driest year since 2011-2012, when the country underwent a major drought. This means that a greater percentage of areas have been affected by severe, extreme, and exceptional drought compared to preceding years. While Mexico’s arid northern states have been commonly most afflicted by water scarcity [SSR-22-05], the water crisis plaguing Mexico City (CDMX) and the neighbouring Estado de México (Edomex) – the country’s most populous city and its most populous state – has been worsening in recent years, as prolonged periods of drought and rain deficits cause severely low levels of water supply.
