How to Improve Irrigation Efficiency in Collaboration with Farmers-Agua Segura

Esther Camacho Guerrero – Director of the Regenera Bajío Program, Nuup.

In Mexico, like many other countries, the agricultural sector is the main consumer of water. According to INEGI data, it accounts for over 67% of the total volume used nationwide. This figure highlights the urgency of implementing sustainable water management strategies, especially in a context of growing water crisis.

The country’s water security is closely linked to the agricultural sector’s ability to adapt and make more efficient use of the resource. Especially small-scale agriculture, which occupies about 72% of Mexico’s agricultural territory, still heavily relies on gravity irrigation systems, also known as furrow or flood irrigation. These systems have an estimated efficiency between 20% and 40%, leading to significant water loss, often groundwater, which could be better utilized.

Optimizing Irrigation is Possible: Experience from the Field

At Regenera Bajío, we work with producers to improve irrigation practices and move towards effective water conservation. We have proven in the field that, with adequate technical advice and commitment from the producer, efficiencies of up to 80% can be achieved. This translates into less water extraction, reduced costs, prevention of agricultural diseases, and, in many cases, improved productive yields.

But beyond tools and technologies, the key to change lies in the human factor. The experience, knowledge of the territory, and willingness of producers are fundamental to achieving a transition towards more sustainable agriculture.

A People-Centered Methodology

Aware of the particularities of the Mexican countryside, we developed an intervention approach centered on the producers. Our team provides personalized technical advice, with field visits that allow us to analyze the specific conditions of each plot: soil type, slope, crops, availability of irrigation infrastructure, and access to water.

Through interviews and direct observation, we analyze current practices:

  • How do they irrigate?
  • When and how often?
  • Why is that system chosen?

With this information and data measured on the ground, we propose practical and accessible adjustments, such as modifications to irrigation scheduling, valve installation, or small leveling works. These changes, adapted to the producer’s reality, usually have an immediate and significant impact on water use efficiency.

Changing Deep-Rooted Habits: A Cultural Challenge

One of the most relevant challenges is modifying habits that have been passed down from generation to generation. Many producers repeat irrigation routines because “that’s how it’s always been done,” even if they are not always the most suitable for the current climatic and environmental reality.

Therefore, our approach prioritizes close accompaniment, establishing relationships of trust from the beginning of the process. Listening to their doubts, responding with technical evidence, and respecting their timelines are key to generating lasting transformations.

We also promote the active participation of producers in recording field data. This exercise allows them to observe for themselves the results of the implemented improvements, which reinforces evidence-based decision-making and empowers communities to care for their resources.

Reusing Knowledge: A Virtuous Cycle

Another essential aspect of the methodology is returning the information generated in each agricultural cycle to the producers. This not only improves water management in their productive units but also strengthens the collective memory of the territory.

Furthermore, water efficiency becomes a gateway to other key issues, such as aquifer recharge, water quality, or even the relationship between agriculture and the restoration of aquatic ecosystems. Water that is not wasted in the field is water that can be kept in rivers, wetlands, or natural reservoirs.

Training, Community, and Local Solutions

Training is a transformative tool. Therefore, we organize group workshops in the communities where we work, addressing topics such as:

  • Current water challenges in Mexico.
  • Rights and obligations of producers.
  • Tools for measuring soil moisture.
  • Alternative irrigation systems and their maintenance.
  • Successful cases of transition to sustainable agriculture.

These spaces not only generate knowledge but also strengthen community ties and foster the exchange of solutions that arise from the territory.

Beyond Water: Towards Regenerative Agriculture

Improving irrigation efficiency is just the first step. At Regenera Bajío, we seek to generate a systemic impact, where water security is articulated with climate resilience, rural well-being, and the agroecological transformation of the Mexican Bajío

This implies moving towards productive systems that:

  • Contribute to aquifer recharge.
  • Prevent the contamination of water bodies.
  • Strengthen community water projects.
  • Integrate into watershed management.
  • Respect natural water cycles.

Conclusion: Alliances for the Future of Water

In the face of the water crisis, we need concrete, scalable, and just solutions. Irrigation efficiency is not just a technical goal: it is a key strategy to ensure water today and tomorrow. But to achieve it, technology is not enough. It requires knowledge, accompaniment, and, above all, trust in the transformative capacity of the producers.

At Regenera Bajío, we continue to bet on this path: one that unites knowledge, promotes collective learning, and cares for water as the common good it is.

Networking: Local Allies for Lasting Impact

By the Agua Segura Team

At Agua Segura, we are convinced that no project can have a real and sustainable impact unless it is built together with those who know and inhabit the territory. Collaboration with local actors is not only an effective strategy but also an ethical principle that guides our way of working. In territories marked by resource scarcity and social vulnerability, understanding the context and community dynamics is as important as the technology or infrastructure being implemented.

The Importance of the Territory and Community Water Projects.

The challenges linked to water security are complex and require solutions adapted to each reality. Therefore, working with local allies is a fundamental part of how we do things. We rely on organizations, foundations, cooperatives, and local governments that understand the reality of the place and provide key insights to ensure that solutions truly work.

They are the ones who help us identify opportunities, who know the communities we will work with, and with whom we jointly design strategies adapted to each context. And, above all, they are the ones who make it possible for the impact to last over time.

Adapting Solutions to Local Reality

Sustainable water management requires planning that considers not only technical aspects but also social, cultural, and environmental ones. For example, installing a rainwater harvesting system or improving sanitation without understanding community customs can lead to rejection or lack of ownership. Therefore, before defining any intervention, we conduct a participatory diagnosis with key local stakeholders.

Listening to those who inhabit the territory is the first step towards a successful intervention. Often, water challenges are also linked to watershed management, water conservation in agricultural or domestic uses, or to problems of access and quality. Each territory presents a different range of possible solutions, and only through collaborative work can we choose the appropriate ones.

The Role of Grassroots Organizations

Foundations, civil associations, cooperatives, and other community organizations play a leading role. In many cases, they are already developing projects related to water, health, education, or local production. Working with them allows us to complement knowledge, strengthen local capacities, and ensure that actions do not dissipate over time.

These organizations also serve as a fundamental bridge to communities. They facilitate communication, help build trust, and act as catalysts for change. Furthermore, they often have greater flexibility to adapt to local rhythms and the particularities of each area. They are, ultimately, guardians of the process and strategic allies in implementation and monitoring.

Water Security: Shared Challenges, Joint Solutions.

Because when a project faces challenges—and there always are—it is precisely joint work that allows us to find answers. Mutual trust, constant dialogue, and a shared will to transform enable us to adapt, overcome obstacles, and move forward. Throughout our experience, we have learned that relationships are as important as results.

In contexts where access to water and sanitation remains a historical debt, we need to promote community water projects with a participatory approach. These projects not only improve infrastructure and water quality but also promote co-responsibility and the empowerment of people. The solution to the water crisis cannot be imposed; it must be built.

Sustainability Begins with Local Ownership

The permanence of results depends on community ownership. This includes both the maintenance of technologies and the continuity of hygiene practices and water care. When people feel part of the process, when they understand how a solution works and why it is important, they are more likely to sustain it over time.

Additionally, we promote WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) training workshops, where we address both technical and cultural issues. Nature-based solutions for water are also a fundamental axis in our interventions, integrating the restoration of aquatic ecosystems, aquifer recharge, and water replenishment as key strategies.

Building Networks That Transcend Projects

We know that truly transformative projects are not done alone. They are built through networks, and it is this joint work that achieves significant change and aligns with our purpose: water as a right, as a resource, as an opportunity. At Agua Segura, we foster public-private partnerships, links with local governments, universities, the private sector, and international organizations working for water security.

Corporate water responsibility also finds its place in this collaborative approach. Companies can be strategic allies in implementing sustainable solutions, contributing resources, technical knowledge, or strengthening value chains committed to local development.

A Commitment Built Day by Day

Ultimately, our experience shows that to achieve a sustainable impact, it is not enough to have a good technical solution. It is necessary to build relationships, respect the rhythms of the territory, learn to work with others, and trust in collective wisdom. Thus, each new project becomes an opportunity to grow together and ensure that the right to water is a reality for everyone.

Working with local allies is not just a methodology: it is a philosophy. A way of inhabiting territories with respect, humility, and commitment. It is also a way to address the water crisis collectively, recognizing that every person, every organization, and every community has something valuable to contribute to building a more just, resilient, and sustainable future.

World Environment Day: Why Plastic Is Also a Water Crisis

Every June 5th, the world pauses for a moment to remember something that should be self-evident: the planet we inhabit has limits. World Environment Day, led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), is an opportunity to put the most urgent environmental challenges on the agenda and call for collective action.

This year, at Agua Segura, we want to highlight a connection that often goes unnoticed: the relationship between plastics and the water crisis. A relationship that is not metaphorical. It is chemical, ecosystemic, and deeply territorial.

Plastic doesn’t disappear. It breaks down and reaches the water

When plastic is not properly managed, it doesn’t disappear. It fragments into increasingly smaller particles — known as microplastics — that end up in rivers, watersheds, aquifers, and oceans. According to UNEP data, between 9 and 14 million tons of plastic enter the ocean every year. But the problem doesn’t start or end at sea.

Microplastics have been found in drinking water sources, agricultural soils, fish tissue, and human blood. They affect aquatic biodiversity, disrupt the natural cycles of ecosystems, and compromise the quality of water that entire communities depend on to live, produce, and develop.

The plastic crisis and the water crisis are not two separate problems. They are two symptoms of the same production and consumption model that ignores the natural limits of the planet.

Water security and biodiversity: an interdependent system

At Agua Segura, we work with this reality on the ground every day. We know that water security cannot be guaranteed by infrastructure alone. It depends on healthy ecosystems, functioning watersheds, soils that absorb water effectively, and communities with the capacity to care for and manage this resource.

When ecosystems become contaminated — with plastics, agrochemicals, or industrial waste — that chain breaks down. Wetlands lose their retention capacity. Degraded soils no longer filter as they once did. Communities that rely on surface or groundwater sources are left exposed.

That is why talking about the environment on June 5th is also talking about water. And talking about water means talking about the natural systems that sustain it: forests, wetlands, soils, rivers, aquifers. All of them threatened, among other things, by plastic pollution.

What can companies do?

Organizations have a role that cannot be delegated. Not only because plastic and water are part of their value chains, but because they have the capacity to scale solutions that go beyond their own operations.

This year, together with Unplastify, we developed a series of special proposals for corporate teams looking to engage with this agenda in a concrete, meaningful, and transformative way:

Inspirational talk: a awareness session on the impact of plastics on water, nature, and communities. Ideal for building internal awareness and opening conversations about sustainability within teams.

Solution design workshop: a participatory dynamic for co-creating concrete responses to plastic and water challenges. An activity that combines creativity, collaboration, and purpose.

Clean-up day: a collective action experience in contact with urban nature. Because change is also built with our hands.

These proposals are not just team-building activities. They are opportunities for organizations to integrate the environmental agenda from within, with teams that understand the problem, commit to the solution, and build a culture of sustainability.

June 5th is a date. The commitment is permanent

World Environment Day serves an important function: it raises visibility. But the environmental crisis has no expiration date and cannot be resolved with a single awareness event. It requires strategic decisions, sustained investment, and the willingness to change production and consumption models that have carried decades of inertia.

At Agua Segura, we believe that companies that understand this have a real competitive advantage: they build resilience before scarcity forces them to. They design solutions before regulators require them. They generate value for their territory before social conflict demands it.

Plastic in water is not just an environmental problem. It is an indicator of how an organization relates to the ecosystem it depends on. And changing that is possible, measurable, and necessary.

Does your company want to activate Environment Day with real impact?

Together with Unplastify, we design tailored proposals for teams that want to go beyond communication and connect with concrete environmental action. Talks, workshops, and clean-up days designed to build awareness, creativity, and commitment.

If you’re interested in exploring how we can support your organization this June 5th — and beyond — reach out to schedule a call. We’re here to help you design a water and environmental impact strategy that makes sense for your company and your territory.

It’s Time to Restore Our Home

Manuel Sauri – CEO of Agua Segura

Ecosystems sustain all forms of life on the planet, providing balanced environments where countless species, including our own, coexist harmoniously. The health of these ecosystems directly influences the well-being of the entire Earth and its inhabitants. This is why the water crisis, global warming, massive deforestation, and soil contamination are urgent concerns for those of us who tirelessly advocate for a global transition toward a sustainable way of life in all its forms.

In many countries, practices that degrade the ecosystems we depend on are considered environmental crimes because they threaten the quality of life in that region, with inevitable ripple effects across the globe. The actions we take today will shape the near future for many people who are already grappling with the consequences of this climate crisis. Protecting and restoring the environments we are part of (and even those we aren’t) is essential to ensuring our own quality of life in a healthy world and to preventing the spread of diseases, climate disasters, and growing inequalities due to the lack of access to public goods.

To visualize the impact, according to the FAO, 10 million hectares of forests are deforested every year, an area similar to that of Iceland. In this way, their biodiversity is lost, affecting not only the species that live there, but also local economies that suffer the consequences of soil change, floods, increased temperature, among many other issues. Groundwater absorbs agrochemicals from these lands, which are often used for intensive and irresponsible agricultural production, and in this way, a vital resource for the development of any person and their community is gradually contaminated and extinguished

However, just as we are all affected by the same climate crisis, we are also called upon to implement solutions that enable us to transition to a more sustainable economy in harmony with nature. We are all part of the solution. At Agua Segura, we lead various projects aimed at providing concrete solutions to the water crisis. We understand that this global issue requires multiple local solutions that positively impact ecosystems, creating a virtuous cycle of growth. We see ourselves as part of an entrepreneurial generation, aware of its transformative potential, and we build partnerships that contribute to a sustainable strategy for everyone.

The challenges ahead call on all of us, as a society, to design more and better projects to protect and restore our planet. Collaboration between the public sector, private sector, and civil society is crucial.

This Earth is our home, and as environmental movements often remind us, there is no Planet B. Let’s care for, activate, and restore today the world we dream of living in for the rest of our lives. 

Why is restoration essential for water security?

The call to address the water crisis aligns with an urgent global objective: to guarantee water security. Restoring soils, forests, wetlands, and river basins not only improves environmental health but also ensures access to safe and quality water, and helps prevent diseases, floods, and extreme droughts.

When an ecosystem is healthy, the soil retains water, wetlands filter it, and aquifers are naturally recharged. Restoring these natural processes is key to sustainable water management and to addressing the growing scarcity in many regions of the planet.

Local solutions for a global crisis

In the face of the water crisis, solutions must be as diverse as the territories. Agua Segura promotes strategies adapted to local realities:

Restoration of degraded wetlands and riverbanks

Ecosystem-based watershed management

Aquifer recharge through green infrastructure

Water quality improvement through regenerative practices

WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) actions in vulnerable communities

Promotion of community water projects with local participation

These actions align with the guidelines of SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation proposed by the UN.

Nature-based solutions for water

The nature-based solutions (NbS) approach seeks to leverage natural mechanisms to regulate the water cycle. For example:

-Soil restoration increases infiltration and prevents erosion.
-Wetlands act as sponges, retaining water and capturing pollutants.
-Reforestation helps stabilize the climate, reduce runoff, and promote biodiversity.


Organizations such as the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) recognize these solutions as essential for increasing resilience to climate change.

We are all part of the solution

Water is a common good, and its care is a shared responsibility. Corporate water responsibility implies that the private sector adopts measures to minimize its water footprint, while governments and civil society organizations must articulate public policies, investment, and environmental education.

At Agua Segura, we believe in the power of partnerships. Only by working together can we scale solutions that ensure clean water, equitable access, and healthy ecosystems.

Restore today to secure tomorrow

To restore is to look towards the future with responsibility. It is to understand that without water conservation, there is no health, no development, and no social justice. Every action counts: from caring for the soil to protecting a wetland, from reducing consumption to promoting public policy.

Because this Earth is our home. And there is no other.

Earth Day: why water security depends on climate, ecosystems and territory

Every April 22nd, Earth Day is celebrated, a date that invites us to reflect on the relationship between the natural systems that sustain life and the decisions we make as a society to protect them. In this context, talking about the planet also implies talking about water. Not only because it is an essential resource for health, production, and development, but because today scientific evidence shows that water is at the center of many of the most urgent environmental challenges of our time.

At Agua Segura, we understand that water security cannot be addressed as an isolated issue. Water is not a resource independent of the rest of the system. Its availability, quality, and resilience depend directly on the state of ecosystems, the health of watersheds, land use, and how climate change is altering natural cycles.

Therefore, Earth Day is a key opportunity to broaden the conversation: protecting the planet also means protecting the systems that make water possible.

Water at the center of the climate crisis

For a long time, water management was treated as a technical or sectoral issue. However, today that perspective is no longer enough. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the main international body of the United Nations for assessing climate science, warns that more than 50% of the impacts of climate change manifest through water.

This means that many of the most visible and serious consequences of the climate crisis appear in the form of:

  • prolonged droughts,
  • extreme rain events and floods,
  • alterations in hydrological cycles,
  • increasing variability in water availability,
  • pressure on agricultural, urban, and ecosystem systems.

In other words, water is one of the main vehicles through which climate change impacts communities, territories, and economies.

This reality redefines the concept of water risk. It is no longer just about scarcity or access. It also involves understanding how the climate modifies the functioning of the water system as a whole and how that affects the stability of watersheds, food production, infrastructure, and the resilience of communities.

The deterioration of the planet is also a water crisis

To this scenario is added another equally critical dimension: the degradation of ecosystems. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) warns that more than 75% of the planet’s land surface presents some degree of degradation.

This data does not only talk about loss of biodiversity or environmental deterioration. It also talks about water.

When soils degrade, when forests disappear, when wetlands are altered, or when recharge areas lose functionality, territories lose their natural capacity to:

  • infiltrate water,
  • retain moisture,
  • regulate flows,
  • recharge aquifers,
  • buffer extreme events,
  • filter and improve water quality.

This means that the problem is not only how much water is available, but whether the natural system that produces, regulates, and distributes it is still functioning.

And that is one of the most important keys to understanding the current water crisis.

Water security cannot be thought of in isolation

Frente a este contexto, se vuelve evidente que la seguridad hídrica no puede construirse con una mirada fragmentada. No alcanza con medir consumo, optimizar una operación o instalar infraestructura si no se comprende el estado del territorio y la capacidad real de la cuenca para sostener el recurso.

Water security requires an integral vision that articulates at least four fundamental dimensions:

  1. Water management This implies improving efficiency, reducing losses, protecting sources, optimizing productive uses, and ensuring access to safe and continuous water.
  2. Ecosystem restoration Healthy ecosystems are part of the natural water infrastructure. Restoring forests, wetlands, soils, peatlands, or degraded areas strengthens the territory’s capacity to regulate water.
  3. Climate adaptation In a scenario of greater water uncertainty, it is necessary to design solutions that increase resilience against droughts, floods, and climate variability.
  4. Land use and territorial management Decisions on agriculture, urbanization, conservation, and productive development directly impact the functioning of watersheds.

Therefore, talking about sustainable water security necessarily implies integrating water, climate, biodiversity, and territory into the same strategy.

Water is not an isolated resource: it is the result of a complex system

One of the most important ideas that should guide the conversation on sustainability today is that water does not exist in isolation. It is not simply a available resource that is extracted, used, and replaced.

Water is the result of a complex system where the following intervene:

  • climate,
  • vegetation cover,
  • soil health,
  • biodiversity,
  • the infiltration capacity of the territory,
  • watershed governance,
  • productive and urban decisions.

When one of those components fails, the water system weakens.

This explains why in many territories the water crisis is not just a matter of scarcity. It is a matter of systemic degradation.

And it also explains why isolated solutions—focused solely on infrastructure or efficiency—often fall short of solving the underlying problems.

Protecting the Earth is also protecting water

Earth Day reminds us that environmental challenges are deeply connected. You cannot talk about climate change without talking about water. You cannot talk about biodiversity without talking about watersheds. You cannot talk about resilience without considering how natural systems that sustain the water cycle are protected and restored.

Caring for the planet also means:

  • protecting and restoring ecosystems,
  • reducing soil degradation,
  • strengthening watershed management,
  • implementing nature-based solutions,
  • innovating with measurable impact,
  • promoting sustainable territorial decisions.

At Agua Segura, we believe that acting against the water crisis requires a systemic, collaborative, and evidence-based approach. It means working not only on the resource, but on the system that makes it possible.

Innovate and act to build water resilience

In a context of water stress, climate change, and environmental degradation, action can no longer wait. The conversation on sustainability must move from diagnosis towards the implementation of concrete solutions.

That implies:

  • innovating with purpose,
  • measuring impact in the territory,
  • designing watershed-based strategies,
  • integrating ecological restoration and water management,
  • building alliances between communities, companies, and organizations.

The water resilience of the future will depend on our ability to understand that water does not protect itself. It is protected when we care for the territory, ecosystems, and the relationships that sustain its cycle.

Earth Day: an opportunity to rethink water

Every April 22nd, Earth Day reminds us that the planet functions as an interdependent system. And in that system, water occupies a central place.

Talking about water today is no longer just talking about availability. It is talking about water security, climate change, ecosystem restoration, biodiversity, territorial management, and resilience.

Because water is not an isolated resource.

It is the result of a complex system.

And protecting the Earth also means protecting the water.

This Earth Day, we renew a conviction that guides our work: water security is only possible when we act on the entire system, with integral solutions, collaboration, and a long-term vision.
