Taking discharge and aquifer recharge, current population and average hydrology into account, the watershed possesses a water availability of 484 m3 per inhabitant per year and would be reduced to 230 m3 per inhabitant per year by the year 2020. The watershed therefore ranks amongst the poorest regions in regards to per capita water availability with countries such as Syria, Israel, and Saudi Arabia. Per capita water use estimates, including domestic, commercial, municipal, and industrial supplies, approach 290 liters per day per inhabitant

Mexico may not be the place to point out water issues to make us panic

I think there was a strange shift in or around 2019. Every year since I moved into my current address from 2009 to 2019 we had heavy rain in the fall around September/October that flooded my backyard so bad I had to put a drain in. ln 2019 that heavy rain never came but in April/May 2020 it did. That has happened in April/May every year since. Almost like something in a climate cycle shifted. I am waiting to see what happens this fall.
