Cómo preservar el agua y la prosperidad en Jalisco | Guillermo Márquez & Jafet Márquez | TEDxZapopan


[Applause]
good we’re going to talk about something
very everyday but it is the basis of the
prosperity
Water nothing we can only
have 1 percent of water
in the planet
let’s talk about us two
and an emblematic experiences
we go to project toward early
1900 grace of angels is
It is growing very rapidly and needed
bring water from elsewhere so
microsoft 1908 and other bases
hbo game City angels and
for the year 1913 was ready and
fetching water but what
it was with this that for the year
1926 the lake had dried zulia
they can not bring more water
this as drought the lake to the
date has brought consequences
and winds up dust and
these cases health problems are
mainly respiratory could
give to emphysema and cancer
what they have to do to
alleviate the problem as the use
amount of water used in
year for a population of 220 000
population
I think those who devised the project
They never thought this would happen to us
Now we go to Spain in 1988 and
a transfer of the Tagus river to river
safe as safe river basin
It was close to the activity
agricultural and water required for
irrigation
good they thought that maybe you
will happen but what experience
we see that environmental damage
Tagus river were devastating are
irreversible and therefore also not the
impoverishment of that area but it
it happened with that received ua
increasing industrial activity and
Agrochemical polluted the river safely
and not only that
Nor had they expected and water
today as demonstrations
they are there and people want to be
stop the transfer did not help him
neither
also they asked to not repeat these
experiences
Now let’s talk about a region
state here the Highlands region
located northeast is a region
where water was scarce and good
vulnerable drought
However this region is very
important for the state of Jalisco
we inhabit
why
nationally one in five
liters of milk we take comes from
This region is also one in five
kilograms of meat well in the region
of senior and national level
six out of ten new we consume
comes from the same region the region
It represents the high quarter
of GDP state
jalisco it becomes very important but not
only that also be affected your
Productivity can see impacts
price increase could be up
40 to 60 percent
this region is a bit of what we
to discuss the project
here near the metropolitan area there
a couple of rivers are already familiar
with them
Green club is on the left is
one of the cleanest rivers in the
country and therefore one of the most
sought
Santiago also originating from
chapala it is one of the most
contaminated in the country and well that
It requires special attention
let’s talk about two areas
Guadalajara metropolitan lion in
half of the nineties
They raise their hands and ask for water
their cities by the great growth
They are taking especially the city of
lion and an important growth
Industrial and sits there
almost half of the tannery there
as an industry in the country but also
It is a highly polluting industry and
they discharge into the river
turbid finally it is a
tributary of the Lerma River and reaches the
in these conditions arises chapala
project is to build a
Dam on the Green River to store
water through a decanting
Hence the city of Leon appears out
high water to keep that
especially that growth growth
industrial
but hey there risks involved in this
project or what the consequences would or
how beneficial or not for all
we go to the decade of the fifties
when water was insufficient chapala
their sources that had and
resorts to bring water from Lake Chapala
we talked about this project and we
effect will affect for you and for
for me for all of us we will
try to explain briefly in the
Today the dependence
Guadalajara metropolitan area
Lake Chapala is that from there
brings 60 percent of the water
consumed in the metropolitan area but
Also on stage drought
that great source means to lower
in your area of Lake Chapala good
It would be receiving water as already
It happened at the beginning of this century
There are some times of crisis will remember
then it needs in the area
Guadalajara Metropolitan is good
because there will be a reserve but not
as great as I size it
Green also bring water to the area
metropolitan
but what would happen in this scenario does not
have raised good lion would
carrying water for his city
potabilized in a tube to measure
federico income picture and that day
both return having
and is water for Guadalajara is
almost literally true
because because the industry is
installed and is not equipped not
there are treatments to remove
amount of metals deposited in
Lake Chapala those images
colors you see there are satellite
each color means a metal is
there then deposited before this
somewhat complicated scenario from
organized society
we propose formed observatory
to address what is all this
I compose problematic citizens
Obviously there are technical teams
Some of us have been specialized
majoring already in the course of
this time where we did a
but integrally analysis of
What role playing in the water as an element
of weakness but also what role
It is as important as an element
which can affect health cancer
especially and many other diseases
It is appearing with water of that quality
then we have done to date we have
issued 80 recommendations
divided into five strategic lines
The first would cancel the transfer
because we do not think that suits us
They carry away the water and use
poison and back down to in
these conditions
ensuring comprehensive management and this
integrated management means no
only water is seen as projects
civil engineering although I am civil engineer
we should not see any concrete companies
metal tubes and bring the water is much
more than that we also have to
protect recharge areas where
We have the largest amount of water in the
subsoil and that is very concerned about
all the metropolitan area in general
in the state must protect these
recharge areas and finally we have
to give the Lake Chapala because
we will be depending on him for many
years
more both in quality and quantity
good before this veto water supply
also it raises the possibility of handling
intelligent management of that good
remember that water is the basis
prosperity and we must avoid
both ecological and social deterioration
economic is in our hands
we all know that without water there is no life
