Candidates for Jalisco governor may be scoring points with voters by opposing two major water infrastructure works but they won’t have much to say in the matter should they win the July 1 election.
Neither the controversial second aqueduct to ferry water from Lake Chapala to the Guadalajara metropolitan zone or the massive Zapotillo Dam in the Los Altos region of Jalisco will be scrapped because of the opposition of an incoming governor, say Jalisco Water Commission (CEA) President Cesar Coll and National Water Commission (Conagua) President Jose Luis Luege Tamargo.
All three leading candidates for Jalisco governor – Aristoteles Sandoval of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), Enrique Alfaro of the Citizens Movement and Fernando Guzman of the National Action Party (PAN) – have voiced their opposition to the new Chapala aqueduct. Coll, however, says the project is still very much alive.
