Indicators and sources for monitoring water risk
- Water for industry
- Industrial water, wells and discharges
- Audited
The dossier proposes seven indicators: the EMPAGUA tariff by band and fixed charge (annually, or when an agreement is published, empagua.com); the fall in the water table at monitored wells in the valley, in m/year (annually, ERIS-USAC/EMPAGUA); the procedural status of Bill 6816 (monthly, Congress); monthly rainfall by station or region (INSIVUMEH, climate bulletins; INSIVUMEH also publishes intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curves by region, 2026); generating entities with a current ETAR and AMSA audits in the Amatitlán basin (annually, MARN/AMSA); the metropolitan aquifer's exploitation-versus-recharge balance in Mm³/year (IARNA-URL/EMPAGUA, when a study is published); and active socio-environmental conflicts linked to water (quarterly, OCMAL/EJAtlas/Prensa Comunitaria).
The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
