Sonora Advances Irrigation Project in San Ignacio Río Muerto With Two New Wells Planned

Backed by President Sheinbaum, the works aim to boost irrigation efficiency to revive long‑neglected farms.

Overview

  • Stage one of the irrigation conduit is complete and stage two stands at 60% progress, including 1,880 meters of hydraulic pipeline.
  • The governor said the second stage is slated to enter operation next year to expand the cultivated area in the ejido.
  • Reported investments total MXN 1,289,321.29 for stage one and MXN 1,379,303.50 for stage two, with 15 producers benefiting initially.
  • Two additional agricultural wells were announced for the Ejido San Francisco or Narciso Beltrán, which officials say would irrigate about 378 hectares as a unified system.
  • The project is presented as a coordinated effort with the municipal government, Conagua and state agencies in response to Sonora’s water scarcity affecting farm productivity.
