Water is a huge challenge in Mexico
The National Water Programme 2020-2024 (PNH) published by the National Water Commission (CONAGUA) aims to guarantee the human rights to water and sanitation, especially for the most vulnerable population, and to make efficient use of water to contribute to the sustainable development of the productive sectors. It also seeks to reduce the population's vulnerability to floods and droughts, preserve the integrity of the water cycle to guarantee water services that depend on basins and aquifers, and improve water governance. In alignment with these goals, Aquatech Mexico, a prominent industry event, tackles pressing issues such as water scarcity, quality, and climate resilience.
