The programme combines binational and state resources with funding from NADBank, CESPT and a green bond. It includes 16 Mexican projects, recovery of San Antonio de los Buenos and doubled capacity at the US international plant, all of which must function as one system.
Budapest’s Ínség-szikla emerged again after months of low rainfall and heat. IIASA modelling ranks July 2026 as the most extreme low-flow episode since 1990, affecting water supply, farming, energy, navigation and ecosystems.
PROMMRA's central scenario places operational filling around 15 December, with a conditional window from 24 November to 13 February. The signal rests on a large snow reserve but depends on actual melt, water deliveries and basin operations.
World Weather Attribution estimated that human-caused warming added about 2°C to Mediterranean extremes and greatly enlarged the affected area. The rapid analysis warns of impacts on species, fisheries, coastal health and heavy rain, while remaining subject to later scientific review.
The first phase is designed for 2,200 litres per second and potable water for nearly one million people in Playas de Rosarito and Tijuana. It diversifies supply away from the Colorado River, but costs, power use, seawater intake and brine discharge must be transparent.
Sea-surface temperature averaged 20.96°C, delivering a second consecutive monthly record, Copernicus says. The tropical Pacific, Atlantic and Mediterranean concentrated anomalies, while July tied the second-highest global temperature at 1.47°C above pre-industrial levels.
An injunction requires the São Paulo municipality and Samae to stop discharges immediately, correct operational failures and submit a comprehensive plan within 60 days. Effluent and waterway tests must be published monthly until at least 3 August 2027.
Scripps researchers identified sediments near pH 12 and brucite around barrel-like objects between Palos Verdes and Santa Catalina. The finding confirms persistent alkaline chemical contamination, while its ecological scale and any food-chain risk still require investigation.
Peru's National Water Authority validated a cross-sector portfolio for sanitation, ecosystem recovery and risk reduction, and now operates seven automatic water-quality and quantity stations. The approval organizes priority investment but does not mean all nine projects are complete or fully funded.
The provincial legislature approved a law allowing the Water Institute and the Infrastructure Secretariat to take urgent action and use direct procurement. The measure seeks to protect supply, but it also triggered a debate over oversight, updated data and planning.
Governor Sergio Ziliotto filed a new request before Argentina's Supreme Court to enforce the 2017 and 2020 rulings on the Atuel River. La Pampa argues that Mendoza's non-compliance reflects a political decision, not a lack of water, and is prolonging environmental regression in the province's west.
San Juan and parts of six other cities were placed under a schedule that shuts service for 48 hours at a time. July was the driest month in more than 120 years of records in the capital, while authorities acknowledge that infrastructure failures predating the drought are worsening the emergency.
