Extreme drought conditions in Mexico are causing an historic water shortage in the state of Nuevo Leon.
Reservoirs and rivers that supply water to some 5.3 million people in the Mexican city of Monterrey are about to run dry.
The state governor says people are experiencing an “extreme climate crisis”.
More than half of Mexico is currently facing moderate to severe drought conditions, according to CONAGUA, Mexico’s National Water Commission.
City officials in Monterrey, which is regarded as Mexico’s industrial capital, have been limiting water access to six hours a day.
The water shortage has led to growing public anger.
Mexico’s president has placed part of the blame for the water shortage on excessive extraction of water by bottling companies.

“A river is more than an amenity, it is a treasure.”
now this would be a fine time for the “CARTEL to become the COUNTRYS COURAGEOUS💪HEROS!!” the weak government doesnt have billion$ to supply water, but they do thats a POWER Move
You know, cartels can’t make water rain from the sky… doesn’t matter how rich they are.
Billions to spend on War is all that matters, the Military Industrial Complex must be fed !
I’m losing my”””confidence”””me itni mehnt krta hu “Knowledge” videos me…. par koe chote you tubers ko support nhi karta hai sb stars ko follow krte rehte hai❤️😭😭😨
😭😰😭😰👉❤️❤️
🤔🤔🤔🤔
Desalination will be key for survival in the 21st century
they only care about parties and soccer
I hope whoever’s watching this video has a happy and healthy life.
I hope the same happy and healthy life for you..
The us should donate water and money to mexicans
Open doors isn’t enough?
For what?
Alhamdulillah for water here 👍
😆😆
Wow what a call for systems change
Young brother of Zimbabwe 😭
And Rhodesia was the bread basket of Africa .
I wonder why there is water crisis in the middle of two big oceans..
Because it’s not drinkable and desalination costly
Really?
look at that poor dog 1:06
Climate change! BULLSHIT! Its the mandated destruction of humanity!
spanish ruled people poor and uneducated
RACE CARD AGAIN!
As if there weren’t enough problems already. Hope this crisis will be resolved soon.
This is happening all over the globe people. Everywhere!
Everything Jesus Christ told us we would see in the last of days is coming to light, he said when we see these events, inflation, famines, rare weather anomalies, wars and rumors of wars, plagues, sin being taught and accepted as normal, know that we are in the beginning of sorrows. Know that the day of the Lord is at hand.
The world is not going to get better, things will continue to decline and get worse and worse, it will be the worst period that the world has ever experienced. All the while a man of sin, a voice of peace will rise to power over all the worlds governments and he will have the answers to all these global issues we are seeing right now to whuch will grt worse during this future events, he will bring peace to Isreal and its enemies, the world will love him as he fixes all these issues.
When you see this man suffer a fatal wound, recover, become possessed and stand in the rebuilt temple in Jerusalem and claim to be the messiah with a false prophet at his side performing miracles and wonders, run away! for he is the son of perdition, the anti Christ, he will enforce a mark upon the hand or forehead on everyone and without it you cannot buy or sell, DO NOT TAKE THIS MARK.
Those who refuse this mark and turn and give their lives to Jesus Christ during this tribulation will be martered by society, they will be publicly executed, they will be hunted down like wild game.
These events are coming, this false christ is coming, everything we are seeing was foretold by Jesus Christ as rhe beginning of Sorrows, the beginning of the last of days.
There’s good news! You can escape the wrath and judgment upon the world that is coming literally very soon. If you turn your life over to Jesus Christ who shed his blood on the cross for you, for your redemption, for your salvation, for your forgiveness of your sins and confess these sins and accept Jesus Christ and your one and only Lord and Savior. YOU WILL be saved from the wrath and destruction that is coming.
What we are seeing today since 2020 started was the beginning of Sorrows, the starting point of the last of days. The ark is still boarding but the door is closing, you don’t want to be here when that man of sin takes lead of the world. It will be the worst 7 years in existence, nothing in history can compare to what is coming and will happen to the world during the 7 years of tribulation. It’s time to take the veil off and see the truth, the truth in Jesus Christ, the truth in the word of God in scripture.
😁, climate change and ozone layer disappearing and bla bla are terrorizing formulas.looks like water shortages are created in Mexico.
Drink Tequila.
American criminals need to smuggle water to mexico in exchange for drugs.
There’s an acquifer here in my area that has clear, unchlorinated, spring water that people line up for with similar buckets, jugs, and containers to fill, but that’s not the only water available. Even in a green part of the U.S. we do get water shortages, in the late summer, just restrictions on watering your grass usually. I can not imagine the hardship it is to have to go outside with containers for your daily water needs. I take it for granted how much there is available here. I’m so sorry this is happening to the people in that town and area.
I always keep at least five 10 gallon jugs of water set aside for emergencies. Water is the ONLY thing on this planet that has no substitute.
I live in Monterrey and it’s been rough in some areas, the outskirts and suburbs of the city have not had a single drop of water in WEEKS. I personally live near downtown so I have not been as affected, but a lot of people have had it terrible
Samuel Garcia the useless governor of Nuevo Leon belongs to Movimiento Ciudadano (part of right wing coalition against the Federal Government) He has absolutely no clue about what to do and shamelessly blames everyone around him instead of seeking a solution. The Federal government recommends to severely restrict water usage to major factories that are privileged in that area and to close or move them to areas like the South East that receive a lot of rain.
Lean not to your own understanding…in all your ways acknowledge him ( Yeshua/Jesus the Messiah ) and he will direct your path…Keep your heart and mind in Messiah Jesus…He is the only way to the Father…Repent of sin…and live…He is the bread of life…He will sustain us…He is what we need…
Hail Satan the only true god
Yesterday I was pondering about water and how precious it is. Actually water is more valuable than gold!
stop pondering about water and give me your gold if you need water
@Alpha Centauri come to the Sahara desert and you will realize why water and camel are more than gold!
Soon in Arizona and other parts of the US as well.
@George Washington The ecological “middle class”, as it were, is disappearing just like the economical middle class is. Now we have both more floods as well as more droughts…
@Das atmende Klarsein I’ll take the floods than lack of water 💦
Need to bring back cisterns for some houses.
@George Washington as you wish 🙏
Hundreds of volcanoes in my country may seem intimidating, but they often have light drizzle around the peak in late afternoon that keep rivers flowing and the country green.
Let me guess,Indonesia
Justice for President Jovenel Moïse and justice for Haiti 🇭🇹
Oui le Mexique est vraiment responsable hein 😂
I heard few months ago in USA that there would be shortage of drinking water water & bought couple cases of water
This shortage of water story was in place at Biden’s so called presideny
This is not the all truth😂😂😂
Climate change ? More like geo engineering , weather modification !
Thanks for being aware of the Geoengineering problems. Getting people to be aware of the situation is not easy.
They keep multiplying and then get angry when there are less resources
Don’t leave out California, Utah, Nevada…
That statement relevent to EVERY SOCIETY on the planet…..
So, you agree that we need to slow the growth of populations. 🙂
Mein the Sahara desert drinking my water from the camel 🐪.
Have you guys ever wondered how we people in the Sahara desert survive with less water? Our bodies are used
Get rid of Joe B he did this world wide!!.
BDS
Meanwhile in indonesia we’ve been hit by severe rainstorms for several weeks, despite the fact that it’s a dry season. Mexicans are running dry while we have too much water here
I am scared for the future
We all must pray for forgiveness to Allah almighty of God, maybe day of judgment is so close
@Amier Rayyan MalayaClan sister leave your god alah your personal book, to me it’s just joke of the past.
@Amier Rayyan MalayaClan If you want to die of dehydration turning you into a prune just say that. The adults have got affordable desalination centers to advocate for.
The only solution for this is desalination for US too.
the energy expended to desalinate water only worsens the climate crisis.
Population vs earth. It is a time bomb.
B.S. the entire population of earth can stand in Texas. Distribution is the problem.
It must be the USA fault…..everything else is.
Yeshua is coming! Folks better get ready
desalination plants will solve this issue
How does desalination work? I read that California has a plant but they shut it down because it wasn’t working well
@Granma Bern Using high pressure pumps and pipes to force seawater and salt lake water through extremely fine filters, which separate the salt from the water on a molecular level. It takes extremely high amounts of energy and maintenance but is the best we’ve got, considering it outputs far more water with less greenhouse gases than heated evaporation methods.
but create unintended consequences
Cameron F Thankyou
tax them really bad for the water, they want to take the water make them pay a high tax
this problem needs to be resolved about corporate companies in their area otherwise later it’s going to get worse if it’s not fixed now
Yep but positive politicians are getting all the water they need for their parties on taxpayer money.
Hi I’m from Monterrey and your right the water shortage is a crisis in my country people here wake up at 3:00 AM just to take a shower then at 5:00 AM the water in my house and in many other houses cuts and don’t get water all through the day until 3:00 AM so what we do is we fill buckets with shower water and with that water we flush the toilet, wash our hands and wash our teeth I’m the few lucky ones that they don’t cut the water at my house but my friends in the other hand they are not so lucky a friend of mine hasn’t showered in 2 days so yeah as you can read this is a big problem that we hope to sold
* solve
P.s the president is a joke in my country
But they have baby formula.
This is something new, everytime t see news in Mexico. It’s about drugs cartels and immigrants
water is a finite resource and us HUMANS all over the world have contributed to its depletion.
The surface is literally covered with 70 percent water.
ONE WORD: COMMUNISM 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
COMMUNISM 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
stopping pollution requires stopping production ….equals stopping economics…no answer works…
by the time well off people get it…it will be too late…
This is sad news indeed.
Yep, I live there and we have been without water for 5 days.
lucky we have 2 water tanks, and sometimes the water returns for 2 hours. but there are other people who don’t have any water
Climate change is a global issue needs global solution.
I don’t know about Mexico but if we in the US stopped wasting water on lawns and golf courses it would alleviate the problem.
Complaining about golf courses while the desert livestock is drinking a trillion gallons a day to feed a largely unhealthy population is kind of ironic though, no?
Water will always be here, people not so much.
al poco tiempo una gota de agua va a valer mas que una gota de petróleo, se predijo hace años, y es cierto
Every water bottling company across the world should be forced to set up desalinization plants and extract only from the ocean. Selling the salts. Draining the aquifers around the world is not in the humans interest only the corporate greedy interest. Putting money above humanity is evil and wicked.
With most of this planet it’s covered with water and desalination a known technology, the only reason for any water shortage is greed and control
*laughs while drinking a glass of water*
AMLO is a clown disguised as a President.
When your species chose quantity over quality. Breeding ourselves into poverty.
Add greed, ignorance and divide that too.
Yikes. Buckle up, folks cuz water wars are in our future 🙁
Water is gold.
Narrator can roll his rr’s like a native but can’t pronounce “potable”, that’s actually kinda funny.
“The WORLD Is Going THIRSTY.Let US Preserve WELLS & SPRINGS”
losers.
It’s only going to get worse, not just in Mexico but all over the world.
Send water to these people and plant plants and trees that capture and redistribute water
How are these people growing food? Did this happen when there were half as many people?
No not at all, we are a 5.5 million city and this is the first time it has ever happened.
Shortages don’t occur in free markets. Get govt out so the price can be attached to scarcity levels like every other market.
…. lmao
Silly poors.. The water is already sold.. to grow food for other countries and big corporate oligarchs like Nestlé and Coca Cola. You really think the private sector cares? Go drink sugary beverages and die of diabetes or whatever while your leaders just talk as they fill their pockets with millions. 💪👍💪
My parents and I used to live in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco 20 years ago and water outages and shortage happened on a regular basis. Mexican corruption needs to stop. Even today that we are wealthy it’s hard to keep taps running without bribing city officials. My parents and I have a few rental properties in Mexico that have had their water rights shut off many times just to get bribes.
This is because of a drought, not becuase of people wanting to shut the water off
@Sulfen Oh, okay, good point, yeah, that combined with severe draught it’s a recipe for disaster
Very uneven situation all-around, people needs to think of better days, betterment of their conduct for all,Humans need to be much more ethical,going मोरal with their thoughts and actions and out importantly Being Humanity on their concern above everything will might and must take Everyone out of such dire conditions globally!
We need to rethink, why everywhere the humanity their lives r deteriorating, we must act really responsibly,atleast with our thoughts and minds otherwise it would blurr on Humanity!
Why God created this beautiful place fr us to sustain will loose its meaning , We all need to b sustainably,morally dealing with day to day stuffs!
Illegal immigration doesn’t help let’s be honest. Now they’re feeling it
Having water for livestock, golf course and pools but not for humans to drink. Misuse of resources and greed unfortunately, on top of people not wanting to change their lifestyle
Bunch of Southern Mexicans that have moved to the North, they doubled the population in only 20 years, that’s also why there’s not enough water.
Floods, droughts, etc. It never ends.
More people, more roads and construction, means less open land to cool the planets and absorb rain for the aquifers beneath our feet.
mexicos water department is managed by corrupt unions and thats reason is falling
Head over to the border to Texas and other parts of America. Biden and companies will welcome all of you in full arms. Please head up north and join America the arrogance.
They could fill these lakes rivers with the glacier water and ice that they are complaining about overfilling the oceans and raising sea levels…lol. Fill tankers with glacier run off and melt the icebergs and collect the water. Good for drinking too. Manage this mess.
They elected the first tiktok governor in mexico’s history, Samuel Garcia.
Pinches pendejos están tirando más agua de lo k cay adentro
