Overview

• The Plan Nacional Hídrico 2024–2030 calls for a 140 km aqueduct carrying 3.8 m³/s from the Solís dam in Acámbaro to León and other Guanajuato cities.
• Jalisco Governor Pablo Lemus Navarro formally requested federal reconsideration, warning that the diversion could reduce inflows to Lake Chapala, Mexico’s largest lake.
• Sheinbaum dismissed concerns about inter-state water transfers as “ridiculous” and affirmed that no project would deprive any state of its water rights.
• Over the past two decades, fifteen transfers from the Solís dam to the Jalisco reservoir have supported Lake Chapala’s recovery under basin agreements.
• While the federal government moves forward with construction, Jalisco continues to call for further dialogue to protect the lake’s ecological balance.
