Causes of the contamination of the water

Water pollution is due to the discharge of domestic, industrial, agricultural and mining waste. Ninety million Mexicans, despite having the infrastructure to receive drinking water, need to filter their water through domestic purification systems or buy it at very high costs from private companies, since the water treatment plants and distribution networks provided by the government or individual storage systems do not. not function properly, thus contaminating the vital liquid before reaching the final consumer. This injustice has become a very lucrative business, turning drinking water into a private good.
