Mexican businessman Daniel Madariaga Barrilado highlighted the importance of protecting major water sources from the effects of climate change, warning that phenomena such as rising temperatures, changes in rainfall patterns, and extreme weather events are directly affecting rivers, lakes, aquifers, and glaciers, putting the availability of this vital resource at risk.
Madariaga Barrilado, a specialist in sustainable tourism development, green building, and sustainable mobility, emphasized that the conservation of aquatic ecosystems is key to maintaining the balance of the water cycle.

Daniel Madariaga Barrilado emphasized the need to promote sustainable water use.
In this regard, the businessman stated that restoring degraded areas, reforesting riparian zones, and protecting wetlands are essential actions.

In agriculture, he mentioned the implementation of efficient irrigation systems such as drip irrigation, while in cities he recommended promoting water conservation through low-consumption devices, rainwater harvesting, and the reuse of graywater.
