Overview

  • Álvaro Obregón authorities have removed more than 2,400 tonnes of waste from western barrancas, including clearing the first two kilometers of the Río Mixcoac channel.
  • Segiagua, Sedema and Sobse are coordinating with borough teams to restore nearly eight kilometers of ravine habitat and watercourses.
  • Workers are sealing unauthorized sewage outlets and dredging clogged channels to prevent flood-causing blockages after 1,310 millimeters of rainfall in 2025.
  • The 'Vigilantes de Barrancas' initiative has recruited residents to monitor ravines, report illegal dumping and maintain cleaned areas.
  • The 'Mi Ciudad se Pone Guapa y mi Colonia También' program is upgrading neighborhood infrastructure with lighting, stair repairs and repaving in each Saturday session.
