Lorena RuizNARRATOR
Today, there is another critical variable for operations: water availability.
Lorena RuizNARRATOR
Mexico has six hundred fifty-three aquifers, and in two thousand twenty-three, the National Water Commission, CONAGUA, considered one hundred and fourteen as overexploited.
Lorena RuizNARRATOR
Pressure is particularly concentrated in regions where many economic activities converge, such as urban growth, industrial development, and intensive tourism.
Lorena RuizNARRATOR
As a result, water security is increasingly becoming a competitiveness factor for attracting and retaining investment.
Lorena RuizNARRATOR
Mexican industries should be asking not only where we will obtain more water but how much of the water we already use can be recovered and reused.
Lorena RuizNARRATOR
Statistics provided by CONAGUA help us to put the challenge into perspective, but they also require us to set limits on any estimate.
Lorena RuizNARRATOR
The total volume of water allocated for consumptive uses is about ninety point six two nine billion cubic meters per year.
Lorena RuizNARRATOR
Nearly seventy-five percent is allocated to agriculture.

Imposible no arrancar esta semana con lo que pasó en Sonora al cierre de la semana pasada.
David BuitrónCORRESPONDENT
Pero más que recordar o enunciar los datos de los cuales ya hemos estado hablando estos días, el impacto en producción y lo que dejó el paso del huracán Polo en el rastro del Cowey y las granjas de la zona, me gustaría más bien en esta ocasión dar cuenta de la prueba de resiliencia que se mostró al norte del país con una unión de porcicultores sonorenses solidarios, un OPORMEX que reaccionó al momento, una CONAGUA reactiva y un SENASICA volcada hacia el apoyo.
David BuitrónCORRESPONDENT
Ahí realmente se dejó ver el poder reconstructivo que tiene la unidad.
David BuitrónCORRESPONDENT
Y de hecho, me cuentan que es cuestión de días, si no es que de horas, para que la planta procesadora número setenta y cuatro, ubicada en la carretera internacional México-Nogales, retome sus operaciones.
Lorena RuizNARRATOR
Another fifty-three percent was classified as indirect reuse, while the remaining share was divided between water exchanges and discharges into the sea or nearby areas.
Lorena RuizNARRATOR
CONAGUA, twenty twenty-five.
Lorena RuizNARRATOR
The reported total reuse rate of ninety-three percent might suggest that Mexico already has a mature system.
Lorena RuizNARRATOR
According to the National Association of Water and Sanitation Utilities, ANAES, however, this figure includes indirect reuse, which does not always result from deliberate planning, agreed water quality requirements, or a contractual relationship between the producer of treated water and its user.
Lorena RuizNARRATOR
The twenty twenty-six to two thousand thirty National Water Program reinforces this direction by promoting the use of treated water in landscaping, industry, and agriculture under circular economy principles.
Lorena RuizNARRATOR
Consider every type of reuse.
Lorena RuizNARRATOR
This convergence of existing practices and new legal obligations set the stage for the forum toward a legal framework for inclusive and sustainable water reuse held on September twenty-fourth and twenty-five, organized by the National Water Commission, CONAGUA, the Consejo Consultivo del Agua, the Regional Center for Water Security under the auspices of UNESCO, CERCI, and several departments of the National Autonomous University of Mexico.
Lorena RuizNARRATOR
The forum brought together legal, public health, environmental, technological, agricultural, business, and operational perspectives.
