Sheinbaum advances water “deprivatization” with 17 projects
President Claudia Sheinbaum announced today the advances made in the regularization of water concession titles nationwide, describing the process as a “deprivatization” of the resource. The initiative has allowed the federal government to recover over 4 billion m³ of water, equivalent to three to four times the annual consumption of Mexico City. … Authorities highlighted cases where agricultural concessions, exempt from fees, were misused for housing or commercial projects. In other situations, companies voluntarily returned unused excess volumes.
