Water authorities in central Mexico have decided to stop taking water from a rapidly emptying reservoir in Valle de Bravo, which is home to an upscale lakeside community. The severe drought has caused the reservoir to be three-quarters empty, impacting tourism and real estate prices. Mexico City will now be supplied from the El Bosque reservoir, which is less populated and farther from the capital.

Around this country of nearly 130 million, drought is draining reservoirs dry and creating severe water shortages. MEXICO CITY — Struggling to deal with a severe drought, water authorities in central Mexico decided Tuesday to stop taking water from a rapidly emptying reservoir that is home to an upscale lakeside community.
But authorities simultaneously got complaints from Mexico City residents that they were getting dirty or contaminated water. Inhabitants of one upscale Mexico City neighborhood staged a protest Tuesday, blocking traffic on the city’s main north-south avenue, complaining the water they were getting smelled of oil or gasoline.
