Mexico declares water scarcity in northern state of Nuevo Leon a matter of 'national security' while announcing measures including a new aqueduct, a dam and more wells to ease shortages
Monterrey, whose metropolitan area is home to around five million people, has a shortfall of 3,000 liters of water per second, Lopez Obrador says.
"We're going to be able to guarantee water for eight to 10 more years," President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Friday during his regular news conference. Heineken, which according to Mexico's national water authority CONAGUA holds permits in the area for 3.6 million cubic meters of water, said earlier this month it would hand over the equivalent of 20 percent of the potable water used in its processes to residents.
