Here in México, water is scarce in some ocasions. Although it isn´t as bad as other places such as California, it is a problem. In México, one of the effects of bad water management is that its bad for the economy. Lake Chapala in Jalisco stores a lot of Mexico's water resource. It has 6,588,000 acre feet of storage capacity. That is one of the many places that México stores its water resources.
One challenge that México faces regarding water is the lack of it in some places. 77% of the population is in Ithe northwest and central regions. In these places, water can be scarce. In some places, houses don´t have water for days and they have to manage their water the best way they can. Currently more than 12 million people don´t have drinkable water. That is one of the water challenges in México.
Water in México can sometimes not be the best in terms of quality. Water pollution is due to the domestic, industrial, agricultural and mining residues. 90 millionm mexican citizens, despite having the capability to receive drinkable water, need to filter it through purifying systems or buy it at costs companies. Many people don´t have the economic capability of doing this, meaning they can not have drinkable water for their families.
Purifying water is one of the strategies that many people use to have drinkable water. Boiling it can be a very effective way to purify water and eliminate the parasites that it contains. This strategy incorporates with the different dimensions of sustainable development because by purifying water, you preserve as much water as you can. For example, if it rains, most of the water is wasted and is no good. If you collect that water and purify it then you have an almost endless supply of water as long as it rains.
