Seg\u00fan el Plan Regional de Aguas del R\u00edo Grande para 2026, si se repitiera la sequ\u00eda m\u00e1s grave de la historia de la regi\u00f3n, el sur de Texas podr\u00eda sufrir unas p\u00e9rdidas de ingresos de 2.82 mil millones de d\u00f3lares y la p\u00e9rdida de 11.500 puestos de trabajo en un solo a\u00f1o, en caso de que no se cubran las necesidades de agua previstas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Las cifras proceden de un an\u00e1lisis de la Junta de Desarrollo H\u00eddrico de Texas incluido en el plan.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

\u00c1rea de planificaci\u00f3n h\u00eddrica de la Regi\u00f3n M<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

El modelo analiza qu\u00e9 ocurrir\u00eda si la regi\u00f3n de planificaci\u00f3n del R\u00edo Grande \u2014compuesta por ocho condados: Cameron, Hidalgo, Starr, Willacy, Webb, Zapata, Maverick y Jim Hogg\u2014 se enfrentara a otra sequ\u00eda grave y no dispusiera de agua suficiente y fiable para satisfacer la demanda prevista.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El plan hidrol\u00f3gico exigido por el Estado abarca un horizonte de 50 a\u00f1os, desde 2030 hasta 2080, y eval\u00faa los impactos en intervalos de 10 a\u00f1os, tomando 2030 como primer a\u00f1o de referencia prospectivo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El an\u00e1lisis advierte de que, si el suministro de agua se ve mermado durante una sequ\u00eda grave, la econom\u00eda regional se contraer\u00e1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abLa insuficiencia de los recursos h\u00eddricos no solo podr\u00eda tener un impacto inmediato y real en la econom\u00eda regional a corto plazo, sino que tambi\u00e9n podr\u00eda afectar de forma negativa y cr\u00f3nica al desarrollo econ\u00f3mico de Texas\u00bb, se\u00f1ala el informe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qu\u00e9 significan las cifras<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Si se produjera una sequ\u00eda grave y no se cubrieran las necesidades de agua previstas, la regi\u00f3n podr\u00eda perder 2.82 mil millones de d\u00f3lares en un a\u00f1o. Se trata de ingresos que no circular\u00edan por la econom\u00eda, desde los sueldos hasta las ventas de las empresas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El an\u00e1lisis tambi\u00e9n estima que 11 500 puestos de trabajo podr\u00edan estar en peligro en ese mismo escenario de a\u00f1o de sequ\u00eda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Las repercusiones econ\u00f3micas ir\u00edan m\u00e1s all\u00e1 del \u00e1mbito laboral.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seg\u00fan las estimaciones del modelo, una disminuci\u00f3n de la producci\u00f3n y las importaciones podr\u00eda suponer una p\u00e9rdida de ingresos fiscales de 316 millones de d\u00f3lares. Y si esa actividad disminuye, tambi\u00e9n lo hacen los ingresos fiscales que genera y que contribuyen a financiar las infraestructuras, la seguridad p\u00fablica y las escuelas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Las dificultades econ\u00f3micas tambi\u00e9n pueden traducirse en cambios demogr\u00e1ficos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El an\u00e1lisis estima que, en ese escenario, 1.653 residentes podr\u00edan abandonar la regi\u00f3n y los colegios podr\u00edan perder 302 alumnos.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los sistemas de servicios p\u00fablicos tambi\u00e9n se ver\u00edan afectados.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El informe prev\u00e9 unas p\u00e9rdidas de ingresos de 98 millones de d\u00f3lares para las empresas de servicios p\u00fablicos durante el primer a\u00f1o de referencia. Estas cifras reflejan una disminuci\u00f3n de las ventas de agua y una ralentizaci\u00f3n de la actividad econ\u00f3mica debido a las restricciones en el suministro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cuando llega la sequ\u00eda, la agricultura es la primera en notarlo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

El sur de Texas depende en gran medida del r\u00edo Grande y del sistema de embalses de Amistad-Falcon como principales fuentes de agua.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durante las \u00e9pocas de sequ\u00eda, se da prioridad al agua destinada al consumo dom\u00e9stico y municipal, y los usuarios de regad\u00edo sufren recortes m\u00e1s severos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Esa estructura hace que la agricultura sea a menudo el primer sector en sufrir las consecuencias cuando se produce una escasez de suministros.<\/p>\n\n\n

Las consecuencias econ\u00f3micas ya son evidentes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El plan prev\u00e9 el cierre en 2024 de la f\u00e1brica de Rio Grande Valley Sugar Growers Inc. en Santa Rosa, descrita como la \u00fanica f\u00e1brica azucarera de Texas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

La empresa aleg\u00f3 la falta de un suministro de agua fiable, incluida la reducci\u00f3n de los env\u00edos procedentes de M\u00e9xico, cuando cerr\u00f3 sus puertas.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La f\u00e1brica daba trabajo a cientos de trabajadores y a m\u00e1s de 100 cultivadores de ca\u00f1a de az\u00facar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seg\u00fan el informe, su cierre tendr\u00e1 un impacto significativo en la econom\u00eda regional, pero ya hay planes en marcha para reabrir las instalaciones<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los distritos de regad\u00edo ocupan un lugar central en este sistema.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transportan m\u00e1s del 85 % del agua del R\u00edo Grande que se consume en los ocho condados, abasteciendo tanto a explotaciones agr\u00edcolas como a clientes municipales e industriales.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seg\u00fan el plan, esos sistemas pueden perder entre el 10 % y el 40 % del agua desviada debido a las filtraciones, la evaporaci\u00f3n y factores operativos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Para reducir las p\u00e9rdidas de agua y mejorar la fiabilidad, el informe recomienda revestir los canales, instalar tuber\u00edas y modernizar los contadores y los equipos<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al mismo tiempo, se prev\u00e9 que la demanda municipal en los ocho condados aumente aproximadamente un 12 % a lo largo del horizonte de planificaci\u00f3n de 50 a\u00f1os, pasando de 303 225 acre-pies al a\u00f1o en 2030 a 340 085 acre-pies al a\u00f1o en 2080.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
