From the beginning of the hurricane season to date, seven storms have formed in the Pacific and three in the Atlantic. But none has come near enough to Mexico’s coasts to dump a significant amount of rainfall and thus alleviate the drought.I’m not a meteorologist or a water expert, but I don’t think the solution to having too little water is to hope for too much of it at once. Then again it may not be such an odd notion when cities are rationing water usage, reservoirs are running dry, and small farmers are suffering due to hundreds of dead cattle.
“Despite the destructive force of these phenomena, Mexico can’t live without them. The country would be nothing but desert,” the Conagua official said.
