| Sumario: | The historical evolution of the metropolitan area of the Mexico City drainage system is compiled in this paper. The information is scattered and compiled from official reports, documents, and maps that have been updated. The drainage situation is the subject of constant maintenance and expansion work. Despite this, the city suffers from continuous floods, aggravated by its progressive sinking, population growth, and climate change. Along more than a century, the untreated sewage poured into the semi-desert Mezquital Valley, Hidalgo state, promoting agriculture development but at a high environmental cost. In 2019, the Water Treatment Plant in Atotonilco de Tula started operations, and irrigation water fits the Mexican standards. |
