The Mexican National Water Commission (CONAGUA) is the primary federal government entity in charge of water sector infrastructure projects. It has central offices in Mexico City, plus regional offices responsible for 13 regional river basin organizations and at least one office in every state to interface with local water authorities. CONAGUA provides significant funding to the 31 Mexican state and hundreds of municipal water commissions/districts to carry out projects. Small states rely extensively on CONAGUA’s federal funds for projects, while larger states often use primarily local funds. However, most projects rely on CONAGUA funding and assistance.
