An increase in rainfall during 2010 in Mexico has pushed its capacity of irrigation dams to 90% which should cut irrigation costs by 50% for local growers, local daily El Vigia reported.
Citing numbers from Mexico’s national water commission Conagua, the water level has reached 42.9 million cubic meters as of November 2010, a 6.5% increase over the same period last year.
In Mexico some 11,500 hectares of growing land are dependent on using water resources from irrigation dams and wells.
