内容提要:

水资源短缺正在成为世界许多地区的一个主要问题。气候变化的影响给生态系统中的水平衡和相关的人类活动带来了许多压力条件。此外,人口增长和经济发展需要更多的水资源。墨西哥中北部位于北部沙漠地带,北纬30度和北回归线附近。在这个地区,水资源是稀缺的。本讲座介绍墨西哥的水资源状况,废水管理和有限的水再利用做法以及与供水和再利用有关的一些公共卫生问题。

Water scarcity is becoming a major problem in many regions of the world. The impact of climate change has introduced many stress conditions to the water balances in the ecosystems and related human activities. In addition, population growth and economic development demand more water resources.The center-northern part of Mexico is located in the north desert belt, around the 30º North latitude and the Tropic of Cancer). In this region, a significant fraction of the Mexican population is located, together with industrial and agricultural production. However, water resources are scarce, mostly based on overexploited aquifers.The situation of water resources availability in Mexico will be presented, together with the wastewater management and the still limited water reuse practices. In addition, some public health aspects related to water supply and reuse will be mentioned.
