The document analyzes the nexus of energy, water, and climate in Mexico, arguing that subsidized nighttime electricity tariffs have incentivized indiscriminate groundwater pumping, undermining water conservation efforts and threatening aquifer sustainability. It estimates that emissions from agricultural groundwater extraction in Mexico account for 3.6% of total national emissions.

  • In Mexico, the availability of nighttime electricity at rates lower than already subsidized agricultural tariffs has led producers to increase groundwater pumping, which has countered previous progress in water and electricity conservation.
  • Indiscriminate groundwater pumping, including the production of virtual water for agricultural export, endangers the long-term sustainability of aquifers, non-agricultural water uses, and the river-aquifer interactions necessary for riparian ecosystems.
  • Emissions from agricultural groundwater extraction in Mexico are estimated to be 3.6% of the country's total national emissions, a figure equivalent to the emissions generated by transporting that same agricultural produce to market.
