Illegal extraction
Operación Caudal closes illegal wells in Edomex and sparks protests
Operación Caudal in Mexico State led to the closure of 189 properties used for illegal water extraction, without disrupting household supplies. The operation, however, triggered protests by water truck operators and transporters who blocked the Mexico-Querétaro highway on October 29, 2025. Governor Delfina Gómez defended the action as a step toward equitable water regulation.
