Project Overview

Volkswagen de México operates a production plant in the Puebla Tlaxcala Valley, a region of Mexico where water supply is not sufficient for both the growing city of Puebla and the industrial area nearby. In this context, securing a reliable water supply was critical to ensure the stability of production for the company, and the availability of water for local communities.
