As of 20 days before Holy Week 2026, the Cutzamala System in Mexico reports a water storage level of 639 million 166 thousand cubic meters, which is 81.68% of its total capacity. This figure, provided by the National Water Commission (Conagua), indicates that the system is still below its maximum capacity of 782 million 521 thousand cubic meters but shows significant recovery compared to the previous year.

This year marks a notable improvement in the reservoir levels, as compared to March 8, 2025, when the system held only 464 million 874 thousand cubic meters or 59.41% of its capacity. The increase of 174 million 292 thousand cubic meters over the past year represents an additional 22.27 percentage points of storage, highlighting the positive impact of the rainfall received throughout the last year, attributed to the rain god Tláloc.

The Cutzamala System is crucial for supplying water to a significant portion of the Metropolitan Zone of Mexico Valley. Given the history of droughts and water scarcity in the region, the current levels are promising for both residents and authorities, as they prepare for the increased water demand during the upcoming Holy Week festivities, which sees a rise in tourism and local activities requiring water resources.
