Water cutbacks on tap for Mexico City
Five million residents in Mexico City and its metro area could soon start feeling the effects of water cutbacks imposed Friday due to drought conditions.

Water behind the Cutzamala dam system is below normal levels after a lack of rain in 2008, according to officials. The dam system accounts for 20 percent of the water used in Mexico City and its surrounding area.
"This year, the amount of rainfall in the area diminished significantly," said Javier Ramirez, head of the Cutzamala system. "It wasn’t enough to fill up the dams. In past years, the general water level of the dam system had gone up a little bit, but this year it was really scarce."
