Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico is implementing the "Nidos de Lluvia" (Rain Nests) program, a sustainable rainwater harvesting initiative. This project, a collaboration between SEAPAL Vallarta and the Government of Jalisco, aims to provide an alternative water supply to rural communities.
The program will initially serve 100 families and three schools. It involves installing systems that collect, filter, and store rainwater captured from rooftops for domestic use. This effort is designed to improve water access and promote responsible water consumption.
SEAPAL Vallarta has been conducting informational meetings to guide residents through the application process. The Nidos de Lluvia systems are a practical approach to making better use of seasonal rainfall, thus enhancing water security in the region.
