Mexico's national water authority Conagua has invested over 400mn pesos (US$30.3mn) so far this year in Baja California Sur state to improve water supply and flood prevention, Conagua said in a statement.
To improve water supply in the state and as part of a drought mitigation program, Conagua has invested 42mn pesos in the Carrizal-La Paz water pipeline, which includes seven interconnected wells and a 33km distribution pipeline. The pipeline is expected to be completed by 2013, with a total investment of 160mn pesos.
Another 200mn has been invested in La Palma and La Higuerilla dams to retain storm water runoff to prevent floods and increase water availability for human consumption. Works are expected to conclude by 2014 and demand total investment of 484mn for La Palma and 160mn for La Higuerilla.
In addition, Conagua has approved 150mn for the channeling of the Insurgentes stream to reduce flood risks.
Conagua is also investing over 30mn pesos to renew equipment in Los Cabos to obtain more accurate hydrometeorological information.
