In other words, people in the novel are experiencing a crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:14px\">Perhaps the first premise of Aridjis&#8217;s novel has not happened yet, but the second became a reality this year in Monterrey. The water crisis or water shortage suffered by the most populous city in the north of the country is not only the result of problems in water management policies, but also an indicator that a vast region of North America \u2013 which includes the United States \u2013 could live similar scenarios if no urgent action is taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>What happened in Monterey?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:14px\">In short, the city&#8217;s water needs (approximately 15,000 liters per minute) collided with a drop in supply to less than 12,000 liters per second between the months of February and August. That, and a sum of factors that, combined, resulted in a decrease in the supply of water and generated a crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:14px\">The combination of factors pushed this water crisis to the limit in Monterrey. However, it is not exclusive to this city. According to the Atlas of Water Vulnerability in Mexico to Climate Change (Conagua 2015), the basins of the Valley of Mexico, northern Sinaloa, the Conchos River in Chihuahua, and the Lerma River basin that provides water to the Baj\u00edo have a very high vulnerability in the face of prolonged droughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Avoid water crisis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:14px\">The United States also has similar problems with cities in Mexico that share a close geographic relationship, such as the Texas Valley and the entire state of California, which could experience severe water shortages in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:14px\">Preventing the recurrence of water crises in metropolises like Monterrey and Homero Aridjis&#8217;s prophecy from becoming a daily scene will require money, a saving culture, new habits, and above all, a way of seeing water as a limited resource on which we depend and that we need to learn how to grow in harmony with our environment. In other words, a paradigm shift.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This difficult experience lived the water crisis in Monterrey in the past year will require a change of thought, but above all, of paradigm.
