In canceling La Parota dam, Sheinbaum details a different water plan for rural Acapulco

President Claudia Sheinbaum canceled the La Parota hydroelectric dam project, which faced opposition due to potential displacement of 25,000 residents in rural Acapulco. She announced an alternative water strategy involving radial wells, rehabilitated pumping systems, elevated tanks, and river cleanup to improve water supply and reduce flood risks in the region.
