“According to experts, the aquifers are not adequately charged by the type of rainfall we have in Saltillo, which makes supplying water to the entire city slow and complicated, ” he said.

He added that, in addition to the scarcity, there is no artificial catchment system to harness rainfall . Therefore, he considered coordination among the three levels of government to be a priority in creating an efficient water plan.

“ Conagua's participation is essential for cleaning and dredging streams, so we can stem the ravages of the torrential rains that no longer surprise the people of Saltillo. Together, the federal, state, and municipal governments will be able to channel these rains and guarantee drinking water as what it truly is: a human right ,” he emphasized.

"The President's work has been positive; she's left the politics of hugs behind to get to work," he said.

Meanwhile, local Morena representative Alberto Hurtado agreed on the urgency of intervening on Highway 57 and added that another challenge is boosting the economic recovery of the Centro region, where 25,000 workers remain in uncertainty.
