Rafael Betance
Rafael Betance is a dedicated water authority monitor in Mexico, having spent 35 years overseeing the La Boquilla dam in the state of Chihuahua. He has witnessed a significant decline in water levels at Lake Toronto, where he reports that the reservoir is currently at less than 14% of its capacity due to prolonged drought conditions. His observations highlight the growing tensions between the United States and Mexico over water rights, as both nations grapple with the impacts of climate change and an outdated water-sharing treaty.
