Water supply and sanitation in Mexico is characterized by achievements and challenges. Among the achievements is a significant increase in access to piped water supply in urban areas (88% to 93%) as well as in rural areas (50% to 74%) between 1990 and 2010. Additionally, a strong nationwide increase in access to improved sanitation (64% to 85%) was observed in the same period. Other achievements include the existence of a functioning national system to finance water and sanitation infrastructure with a National Water Commission as its apex institution; and the existence of a few well-performing utilities such as Aguas y Drenaje de Monterrey.

dbo:abstract
  • Si bien México se precia de tener algunos de los mejores organismos operadores de agua potable y saneamiento de América Latina[cita requerida], también cuenta con algunos cuyo desempeño es deplorable. El acceso, la eficiencia y la calidad de los servicios de agua y saneamiento varían mucho de una localidad a la otra, reflejando en gran medida los diferentes niveles de desarrollo en todo el país. En general, el sector de agua y saneamiento mexicano está marcado por los siguientes problemas: * Baja eficiencia técnica y comercial en la prestación de los servicios. * Calidad inadecuada de los servicios de abastecimiento de agua. * Calidad deficiente de los servicios de saneamiento, especialmente en lo que respecta al tratamiento de aguas residuales. * Cobertura insuficiente en las zonas rurales más pobres.

  • Water supply and sanitation in Mexico is characterized by achievements and challenges. Among the achievements is a significant increase in access to piped water supply in urban areas (88% to 93%) as well as in rural areas (50% to 74%) between 1990 and 2010. Additionally, a strong nationwide increase in access to improved sanitation (64% to 85%) was observed in the same period. Other achievements include the existence of a functioning national system to finance water and sanitation infrastructure with a National Water Commission as its apex institution; and the existence of a few well-performing utilities such as Aguas y Drenaje de Monterrey. The challenges include water scarcity in the northern and central parts of the country; inadequate water service quality (drinking water quality; 55% of Mexicans receiving water only intermittently according to results of the 2000 census); poor technical and commercial efficiency of most utilities (with an average level of non-revenue water of 51% in 2003); an insufficient share of wastewater receiving treatment (36% in 2006); and still inadequate access in rural areas. In addition to on-going investments to expand access, the government has embarked on a large investment program to improve wastewater treatment. (en)
