Mexico is looking to make

Mexico is looking to make major advancements in supplying clean water over the course of the next four years. According to President Felipe Calderon, the government will invest $21bn in order to improve drainage and water treatment in Mexico so that the country can guarantee at least 95% of the population access to clean drinking water by 2012. With Mexico's population having quadrupled in the last 55 years, and most of its citizens living in urban areas, ensuring clean drinking water has been an upward battle. "Among the projects to improve drainage and wastewater treatment will be the construction of a 62km-long (38 miles) drainage tunnel to serve Mexico City." [BBC]
