The crisis of the major US reservoirs threatens indigenous communities and dries up Mexico

Water levels in the two largest reservoirs in the United States have fallen to historic lows, triggering a severe water crisis in the country's southwest. The unfolding situation poses a direct threat to the livelihoods of approximately thirty indigenous communities residing in the region.

Beyond domestic impacts, the depleting water reserves are heavily affecting Mexico, which faces severe consequences from the worsening water scarcity. The crisis highlights vulnerabilities in shared water management and regional resource availability.
