Mexico faces an uncertain future regarding access to water, an essential resource for life. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has predicted that the municipalities of Puebla will be the first to face serious conflicts over this vital liquid. What will this war over water be like in Mexico? Below, we tell you what AI has to say about this worrying scenario.
According to AI analyses, Puebla will be one of the states most affected by water scarcity in the coming years. In municipalities such as San Pedro Cholula, Atlixco, and Tehuacán, water conflicts are expected to be more intense due to high demand and overexploitation of aquifers.
These municipalities, known for their growing population and development, have experienced constant pressure on their water sources. According to AI reports, these localities will be the first to declare a “war over water” due to competition between different sectors: agricultural, industrial, and urban.
Where are there water conflicts in Puebla?
In addition to Tochimilco, other conflicts related to the lack of water have also been reported in the state of Puebla. The information collected by the AI mentions news reports published in the first quarter of 2024.
When will the water war begin?
Among the cases mentioned are problems in auxiliary councils of Tehuacán, as well as in Coronango, Cuautlancingo, San Martín Texmelucan, and some neighborhoods in the city of Puebla. The main causes of water shortages in these areas are attributed to the management of concessionary companies, the closure of wells, and the lack of maintenance at water treatment plants.
