Mexican water produces water from increased drought, endangered crops | Weather News

Drought that has hit two-thirds of Mexico is set to worsen in the coming weeks and predict extreme heat and warnings of crop damage and water shortages in the near future, including Mexico City’s population center.

Experts warn that dry crops can produce temperatures well above 40 degrees Celsius (104F) on June 30 in some areas of northern Mexico, including key areas.

“In some lands, irrigation is almost ineffective due to a lack of rainfall,” said Rafael Sanchez Bravo, a water specialist at Chapingo Autonomous University, noting small reserves and reducing water transfers to farms.

Drought in Mexico is similar to that in the western United States and Canada, where crop yields are threatened and water distribution has been stabilized amid high temperatures, the results of climate change around the world.

About 500 people died in western Canada last week as a result of the heat life-threatening conditions for the elderly and vulnerable groups. In the US, major hot roads, disrupted state traffic and caused power outages.

While rainfall was 3% compared to Mexico last year, the number of reservoirs increased as a result of overcrowding during the COVID-19 epidemic, a US government report showed last month.

Hope to restore Mexico dry lady now depends on the traditional rainy season, known as the North American Monsoon, which takes place here.

“The next three months will be crucial to the drought,” said Andreas Prein, an astronomer at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado.

Much of Mexico receives between 50 and 80% of its rainfall between July and September.

Dehydration is common in some parts of Mexico, but it has been exacerbated by the so-called climate change, according to scientists and information from the Mexico Water Water Committee CONAGUA.

About 70 percent of Mexico is affected by the drought, from about half of December. Nearly half of the country is experiencing a severe drought compared to less than 5% annually since 2012.

Experts fear that the drought will reach 22 million people living in Mexico City, which has been shut down by floodwaters. Some governments do not have the time to drink tap water.

“I have no doubt that in 2022 there will be difficulties,” said Sanchez, who hopes the unrest could take place. “Madam is completely gone.”

Sanchez is urging government officials to use their funds to collect rainwater for their homes.

Villa Victoria, a key source in Mexico City, was one of 770 210 dams less than 25% at the end of June, according to a CONAGUA report. Broken side beds can see others around the city.

Photographs taken by a European Commission satellite show a noticeable decrease in Villa Victoria on June 15 this year, compared to June 30 last year when they were about to become empty.

This time last year, there were 56 dams less than 25%. Two years ago, there were only 40.

The drought has prompted the government to hold silver clouds over the next three months in three northern states – Sinaloa, Sonora and Chihuahua – in a bid to bring rain with the help of powerful warplanes, according to a report by the agriculture ministry.

But this year production of 28 million tons of maize is at risk.

“What is happening is alarming and we cannot deny that we are worried,” said an official in the ministry of agriculture, who did not want to be named.

It would be difficult for scientists to claim that every event occurred global warming, but the worst drought reports global warming, which researchers say is the result of global warming, according to Prein.

Heat traps moisture in the soil.

“That is a big issue. If you are in a very arid area like western Mexico and you are getting hotter, you lose a lot of water due to evaporation, “added Prein.
