Overview

• President Claudia Sheinbaum said most reservoirs now exceed their historical averages, with Baja California, Sonora and Sinaloa as notable exceptions.
• Cutzamala’s dams are at about 84% after four years of reduced deliveries, and the government does not expect to apply supply restrictions next year.
• CONAGUA reported total storage in 210 major reservoirs at 80,024 million cubic meters, a 6% weekly rise, still about 4% below the historical average.
• Thirty-nine reservoirs hold under 50% of capacity, down from 43 a week earlier, as recent rains added an estimated 4,500 million cubic meters to national storage.
• The federal water agency is auditing past concessions, has found irregular transfers of irrigation allocations to other uses, and is imposing fines and canceling concessions, with concern focused on irrigation needs in Sonora and Sinaloa.
