The agricultural sector of La Laguna is confident that the dams will be restored

TORREÓN, COAH.- With the current rainy season, hope is reborn of being able to count on water from the dams for the next agricultural cycle spring-summer 2025since the Lazaro Cardenas Dam has received about 100 million cubic meters in the last three days.

The Lazaro Cardenas Dam, the main collection vessel with the capacity to store 3.3 billion cubic meters of water, currently has a storage of 20 percent and receives contributions in the order of 70 million M2/s.

In the case of the Francisco Zarco “The Turtle Doves”, It has a storage of 149 Mm3, 48% of its ordinary level, with inputs of 61 m3/s and outputs of 2 m3/s that go to the water treatment plant of the federal Healthy Water Program for La Laguna.

Based on the analysis of the Meteorological Observatory of the National Water Commission, the largest sheet of rain recorded in the upper and middle basin of the Nazas River will occur during the remainder of September and the first three weeks of October.

However, for 2024 in the agricultural sector there is still hope that greater runoff will be recorded towards the dams, that hurricanes form that impact the area of Sinaloa so that rain can occur in Durango especially in the upper basin of the Nazas River.

For the spring-summer 2024 agricultural cycle, about to end, it was necessary to extract from the dams 800 million cubic meters for crop irrigation, although there were protests from producers because they were left without water.

With this week’s rainfall, water is beginning to enter and the dams are starting to recover, as the rains have been constant, which is expected to be a factor in the level beginning to recover.
