This week, Mexico's first ever national hydraulic infrastructure conference provided an excellent opportunity for both water authorities and construction companies alike to issue sweeping statements about development in the country. Unsurprisingly, the two camps came up with rather different spins on the situation.
If you ask national water authority Conagua, hydraulic infrastructure spending is through the roof. The authority said this week that President Felipe Calderón's administration has spent over 75bn pesos (US$5.69bn) on hydraulic infrastructure since December 2006.
Conagua head José Luis Luege Tamargo informed all those present that 169 wastewater treatment plants and 10 reservoirs have been built under Calderón's administration. This means wastewater treatment coverage in the country has increased to 41%, compared to 36% at the end of 2006, Luege Tamargo said.
