Three days after the capture of the Yuribia dam by inhabitants of Tatahuicapan, the shortage of drinking water in Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz worsened, forcing hundreds of families to resort to springs to supply themselves. In colonies of the city, despair has become evident. Marco Gómez, affected neighbor, explained that the only option is to carry water from springs: “There is no other left to carry, we don’t know when the Yuribia will open.”
