What’s in Your Water?

i3 partners with Caminos de Agua to address the unprecedented water challenges facing San Miguel de Allende and surrounding communities. Wells are going dry, and the water that remains contains harmful minerals that cannot be removed by ordinary means. The unsustainable over-extraction of the aquifer causes the consequential high levels of arsenic and fluoride, a toxic cocktail known to cause crippling skeletal fluorosis, developmental disabilities, organ failure and cancer.
The vitality of San Miguel de Allende depends on access to safe and healthy water for all.
Panelists will address solutions for your household and the region.
