Mexico is facing a water crisis in large areas of the country, including the

Valley of Mexico. The World Bank and the National Water Commission
(CONAGUA) project huge water deficits by 2030, severely worsening
access for millions of people. Today, at least 250,000 people in the
CDMX do not even have a connection to the network. Ironically, while
the city suffers increasing shortages, every year billions of liters of
rainwater simply go down the drain or cause flooding. "Isla Urbana" is a
project dedicated to promoting sustainable water development based on
the collection, design and installation of rainwater harvesting systems in
Mexico, particularly where people lack water, in addition to promoting,
disseminating and educating about water sustainability.
