Water Management Challenges

The ongoing drought is severely impacting water resources in Chihuahua, Mexico, leading to abandoned farmland and a decrease in natural vegetation. Traditional agricultural practices are failing to address these challenges, causing small farmers to struggle with limited resources while large companies extract groundwater without restraint. Collaborative efforts among stakeholders are being explored, emphasizing the need for shared water management practices across borders to tackle the crisis effectively. Granados and his community are pioneering the use of technology like AI and drones to improve irrigation efficiency, but convincing local farmers of its viability remains a work in progress.
