Less of forest area. - 82,658 ha. Less of water bodies. 70% of forest area reaveal some kind of damage 23/06/2005 Free Template from 9

10 Forest and lacustrine prospective to the year 2025 Forest Area 671,250 Has Forest Jungle Artificial water bodies Continuing this tendency, it s been calculated that from year 2002 to 2005, 223 thousand more ha. of forest will be lost, and we won t have any natural water bodies. 23/06/2005 Free Template from 10

11 Projection of Local Water Demand vs. Population Demanda (m³/s) Población (mill. de hab.) Años Demanda total Población By the year 2025, the State of Mexico will have a population of 19 million inhabitants, 70% concentrated in metropolitan areas, which will demand 108 m3/s. of water, 17 m3/s more compared to /06/2005 Free Template from 11

12 The Integral Hydraulic Program of the State of Mexico, unique in the country, was elaborated based at the previous diagnosis, as a governing instrument in the entity hydraulic policy and as a basis for ordering and orienting current and future actions, to attend the population demand and achieve hydraulic resource sustainability. Among the principles attended by this program, we find: equitable allotment and integral management of water resources, recognition of its social, economic and ecological value, establishment of tariffs that reflect the real cost of running water supply, inclusion of all entity sectors into the preservation of water and the solution of its problematic. 23/06/2005 Free Template from 12

13 From the above, the following policies have been established: To increase the quantity and quality of running water services, drainage and sewage treatment. Policy To contribute at the consolidation and efficacy of the operating organizations. To promote the culture of saving and efficient use of water. To improve efficient use of hydraulic infrastructure. 23/06/2005 Free Template from 13

14 Policy To motivate the participation of private and social sectors for financing, construction, operation, maintenance and management of hydraulic works. To impulse programs for sustainable increase of production and rentability of agricultural activities. To obtain the neccesary water volumes without risking the ecosystems and wealths shared with other entities, seeking to reduce the aquifers overexploitation. 23/06/2005 Free Template from 14

15 Policy To consolidate the water treatment bylaws, in order to contribute to protect, recover and preserve the recipients. To promote the participation of all government levels in the establishment of fiscal stimuli. 23/06/2005 Free Template from 15

16 Important achievements The implementation of the Hydraulic Program has gained important benefits, demonstrating efficacy, efficiency and high quality on the delivery of services, such as : The formulation of reform innitiatives to the Local Policy Constitution and the New Water Law of the State of Mexico, to establish a better regulation on the hydraulic sector. The State takes part at the Councils of the Basins of the Valley of Mexico, Lerma and Balsas: stimulated by the federal government to improve water management. The preservation of natural resources, infrastructure increase and improvement of water management through the Commission of "Valle de Bravo" Basin. 23/06/2005 Free Template from 16

17 Important achievements By proposal of the State of Mexico an for a national benefit, a Federal Decreet has been established for fiscal stimuli to Municipal Organizations to strengthen their finances and investing in hydraulic infrastructure, nowadays it is possible to catch up to two thousand million pesos by year.
