There are several issues with Mexico's water resources. Many people do not have access to clean, fresh water for drinking, washing, or other household uses. The water pipes in many areas are old and deliver dirty, unsafe water. Some communities have to transport water long distances or wait several days between receiving water from unreliable pipes. Mexico has a large population and environment but struggles to manage its water resources and ensure all people receive adequate clean water. The government needs to improve finances and infrastructure like repairing pipes to better handle water distribution, especially as the population grows.
