Overview

  • Conagua reports total storage of about 747.9 million cubic meters, with Valle de Bravo at 95.77%, El Bosque at 95.54% and Villa Victoria at 95.22%.
  • The system has logged 18 consecutive weeks of recovery, adding roughly 371 million cubic meters since late May, including about 24 million in the past week.
  • OCAVM projects storage could approach 98% by the end of the rainy season around October 31, placing 2025 among the stronger years for accumulated water.
  • Current levels are said to secure supply for roughly two years for areas served by Cutzamala, which provides about a quarter of the Valley of Mexico’s potable water.
  • Conagua has controlled‑release protocols and can route excess to CFE reservoirs if needed, with an estimated 45 million cubic meter safety buffer and discussions underway on increasing deliveries to Mexico City and the State of Mexico.
