As part of the Mexico Plan, the Government of the Republic, led by President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, announced an investment of 30.885 billion pesos in 2025 to implement 37 strategic water infrastructure projects nationwide. These projects will generate more than 65,000 direct jobs. Over the course of the six-year term, the total investment will reach 186.567 billion pesos, covering all 32 federal entities.
During her morning press conference “The People’s Morning Briefing,” the president emphasized that these projects are part of a national strategy to accelerate public works, promote employment, and foster productive investment. She also noted that efforts are underway to fast-track executive project development to enable early bidding processes.
Efraín Morales López, Director General of CONAGUA, explained that the initiative is structured around three main pillars: agricultural modernization, priority works and maintenance infrastructure, and river sanitation. The National Modernization Program will receive 7.705 billion pesos in 2025 to upgrade 240,000 hectares in 17 Irrigation Districts, with new projects planned for Michoacán, Sonora, and Tamaulipas.
Regarding major and priority projects, 22.08 billion pesos will be allocated in 2025 to advance 17 key projects in states including:
- Baja California: Rosarito desalination plant
- Campeche: San Francisco aqueduct and Chiná–Jardines pipeline
- Coahuila: Main pipelines under the Agua Saludable program for La Laguna
- Durango: Tunal II Dam
- Guanajuato: Solís–León aqueduct
- Guerrero: Potable water and sanitation works in Acapulco
- San Luis Potosí: Las Escobas Dam
- Sonora: Hermosillo dam system
- Veracruz: La Cangrejera–Coatzacoalcos aqueduct
- Zacatecas: Milpillas Dam
- Plus additional projects in Oaxaca, Colima, Tabasco, Tamaulipas, and the Mexico City Metropolitan Area
An additional 3.8 billion pesos will go toward maintenance infrastructure and the continuation of the PROAGUA program (Potable Water, Drainage, and Treatment) in coordination with state governments.
Finally, a further 1.1 billion pesos will be invested in 2025 to clean and restore rivers—including the Tula, Atoyac, and Lerma–Santiago rivers—to help recover water bodies and improve environmental conditions.
