In the Central and Western regions, the Integral Plan for the Metropolitan Area of the Valley of Mexico (ZMVM), Water for Colima, and Supply for municipalities in the eastern State of Mexico are highlighted.
In the South and Southeast, the Infrastructure Program for Acapulco will be implemented, the Paso Ancho Dam (Guerrero) will be built, and water supply for Campeche will be carried out. In the Gulf and Northeast, protection works against flooding, the Coatzacoalcos Aqueduct, the Solís-León Aqueduct, the Ciudad Victoria II Aqueduct, and the Las Escobas Dam (Nuevo León) will be executed.

The National Water Plan includes an investment of 122.6 billion pesos between 2025 and 2030, with an initial budget of 15 billion pesos for 2025, benefiting 36 million people in various regions of Mexico.
The actions focus on the construction of dams, aqueducts, desalination plants, and flood protection works, prioritizing equitable access to water and mitigating the effects of climate change.
In the words of the director of Conagua, Efraín Morales, during the session: "The National Water Plan has the fundamental objective of guaranteeing the supply of drinking water and improving the hydraulic infrastructure of the country to strengthen water security in Mexico."
