Status of Regional Drinking Water Services in Nuevo Leon, Mexico
The Water supply in Nuevo León, México varies significantly depending on the area or region in which the Municipalities are located. The capital of the State, and its surrounding Municipalities, indeed concentrate on a more significant number of citizens and therefore, has the most significant Water supply. In contrast, the Municipalities in the south of the State are the most disadvantaged given the less investment in the infrastructure for supply, deficiencies in the quality of service, etc. The objective of this work was to show the status of the Water supply over the MetropolitanMunicipalities of the State of Nuevo León in 2017, by analyzing the raw data provided by Water and Sewer Services of Monterrey. To carry out the analysis of the Water supply service condition, based on the geographical location and the area of each of the MetropolitanMunicipalities, a regionalization or discretization of the State of Nuevo León was carried out. Results showed that it is recommended to strengthen Water supply sources, improve distribution efficiencies, implement a permanent program for the detection of visible and non-visible leaks, repair damaged pipes, and detect illegal outtakes. Likewise, the Macro metering should be increased at the sources of supply, storage tanks, and micro-metering, at every domestic water intake (users). Further, the need to build new infrastructure of Water supply networks on rural communities by expanding systems, as well as promote the use of new alternative technologies, is indicated. Establishing a program of financial support for the preparation of dissemination and educational materials to strengthen the culture of water saving in the communities is also suggested.
