Le Mexique va réduire l'approvisionnement en eau du système Cutzamala vers Mexico et l'État de Mexico à partir du 17 mai

Les autorités ont annoncé que les livraisons d'eau provenant du système Cutzamala vers Mexico et l'État de Mexico diminueront à partir du dimanche 17 mai. Cette mesure vise à protéger les niveaux de stockage actuels du système.

Citlalli Peraza Camacho, directrice générale de l'Organismo de Cuenca Aguas del Valle de México, a déclaré que le débit actuel de 16 mètres cubes par seconde sera réduit afin de préserver les 546 millions de mètres cubes actuellement stockés. Elle s'est exprimée lors du lancement du protocole conjoint de prévention des inondations pour 2026 à Nezahualcóyotl et Ecatepec. Le système se situe à 69,79 pour cent de sa capacité, a-t-elle ajouté. Peraza Camacho a précisé que le volume pourrait augmenter à nouveau si nécessaire pendant la Coupe du monde 2026. Le système Cutzamala approvisionne la zone métropolitaine de Mexico ainsi que des villes de l'État de Mexico, notamment Toluca, Lerma et Ocoyoacac.
