Water shortages in Ensenada, Mexico have left some residents without service for months, sparking protests and demands for change. The city, last in line for Colorado River water, is bearing the brunt of the drought ravaging the Western United States. — Ensenada has more water sources to choose from than rapidly-expanding Tijuana, also suffering from rounds of water shortages. But poor maintenance, a growing population and lackluster management of those resources means the town is devolving into prolonged water shutoffs resulting in protests and demands for change. Mexico’s federal government has taken the rare step of declaring a drought emergency for a number of Mexican states, responding to extreme water shortages primarily in the industrial state of Nuevo Leon, but also in Baja California. That move grants temporary powers to the feds to take over water supplies that would normally go to agriculture and reroute it to quench thirsty urban areas. Like in the United States, about 80 percent of the Colorado River water Mexico is entitled to goes to farmers. — To read more of the story written by McKenzie and Vicente (a cross border collaboration on the water crisis facing the regions of California-Baja California) go to @voiceofsandiego: https://bit.ly/3QfE9T2 — #climatechange #coloradoriver #onassignment #ensenadamexico #mexico #mexicowatercrisis #ensenada #photojournalism #fotoperiodismo #everydayeverywhere #everydaylatinamerica #everydayusa #everydaymexico #documentaryphotography #watershortage #crisisclimática #reportagespotlight #environmentalportrait #portraitphotography #portrait #retrato #everydayclimatechange #everydaysocialjustice (at Ensenada, Baja California) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChDNMwkPyd2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hola a todxs! Soy Mariceu Erthal @mariceu_ ,de México y estos tres días estaré compartiendo un poco de mi trabajo, especialmente un diario personal sobre mis reflexiones sobre esta pandemia. Autorretrato en el jardín de mi madre, Querétaro, México. 14 de abril de 2020. “Hoy elegí sentirme bien. Por la mañana releí los versos sobre mi bisabuela y su optimismo y entusiasmo me hicieron sonreír y me aferré a ese sentimiento. Revisé correos y cuando me saturé de ellos interrumpí todo para hacer solo cosas que me hicieran feliz, medité, hice ejercicio, preparé café y leí, me preparé mi comida favorita. Me tome autorretratos sobre el jardín de mi mamá, la sensación del pasto en mi piel y el verde de las hojas me dejaron su roce sagrado.” #everydaymujeres y #everydayeverywhere #everydaymexico #everydayqueretaro https://www.instagram.com/p/CLpR1lwgnzz/?igshid=1mbqiq4wb7smb
