During his participation at Aquatech Mexico 2025, entrepreneur and sustainability specialist Daniel Madariaga Barrilado underscored the need to rethink water management in the country in the face of the growing water crisis.
At the international event, which brings together experts, companies, and authorities focused on technologies for water treatment and efficient use, Madariaga called for joint action among the private sector, government, and citizens.
For Daniel Madariaga Barrilado, water sustainability must become a matter of state policy and a civic commitment.
The specialist emphasized that water availability is an issue that transcends borders and that, if not addressed through comprehensive policies and projects, could become an obstacle to economic and social development.
He noted that technological innovation and investment in infrastructure are key to ensuring equitable access to the resource.
He also highlighted that in Mexico, drought and water shortages are increasingly affecting both urban and rural communities, making it necessary to accelerate the transition toward sustainable models.
“Water can no longer be viewed as an inexhaustible resource; it is time to change consumption habits and promote reuse,” he stated.
Madariaga acknowledged the importance of forums such as Aquatech Mexico for sharing solutions and international experiences, ranging from rainwater harvesting systems to advanced water purification processes.
He also stressed that companies must take a leading role in reducing their water footprint by integrating responsible practices throughout their production chains.
Finally, he warned that water sustainability should not be limited to isolated actions, but rather become a state policy and a civic commitment. He concluded that “the water crisis is real, but so are the solutions if we act in time”.
Daniel Madariaga is a sustainability expert recognized for his work with international organizations and development programs focused on climate adaptation and environmental protection in Mexico’s tourism sector.
