墨西哥瓜达拉哈拉自来水发臭发黑引抗议 总统辛鲍姆责成复查供水项目
墨西哥大城市瓜达拉哈拉正陷入一场日益严重的水质危机：大量居民反映家中自来水发臭、带泥沙，社交媒体上流传着居民用桶和罐子接出浑浊发黑自来水的视频。上周末的一场大规模抗议把问题推向全国聚光灯：警方动用水炮和催泪瓦斯驱散人群，数十人受伤，官方称近40人被捕。墨西哥总统克劳迪娅·辛鲍姆谴责了警方的强硬处置，并承诺复查当地两项供水基础设施工程。当地未来几天还计划举行更多示威。
瓜达拉哈拉位于西部哈利斯科州，都市圈人口超过500万，也是墨西哥最大的工业与制造业中心。今年6月，墨西哥社区发展研究所（IMDEC）的一项公民监测研究抽检了90个社区的184份家庭用水样本，发现超过93%的样本检测不到余氯，意味着供水系统大面积缺乏用于杀菌消毒的氯；部分样本还检出铅、汞、硝酸盐含量偏高以及大肠杆菌。该机构呼吁发布公共卫生警报、由有资质的实验室独立检测，并调查污染源。哈利斯科州政府发言人未回应置评请求。（GSM 据路透社报道）
Worsening Water Crisis Sparks Protests in Mexico's Guadalajara
Residents of Guadalajara, one of Mexico's biggest cities, are demanding answers over a worsening water-quality crisis that has left many households reporting foul-smelling, sediment-filled tap water. A major protest last weekend put the issue in the national spotlight after police deployed water cannons and tear gas; dozens of people were injured and officials said nearly 40 were arrested. President Claudia Sheinbaum rebuked the police for their tough response and pledged to review two water infrastructure projects for the area, but further demonstrations are planned in the coming days, with videos circulating of residents filling buckets and jars with murky brown or black tap water. The metropolitan area, in the western state of Jalisco, is home to more than five million people and is Mexico's largest industrial and manufacturing center. A June citizen-monitoring study by the Mexican Institute for Community Development (IMDEC), covering 184 household samples from 90 neighborhoods, found that more than 93 percent contained no detectable residual chlorine, the disinfectant normally used to protect water from bacterial contamination, and reported elevated levels of lead, mercury, nitrates and E. coli in some samples. IMDEC called for a public-health alert, independent testing by accredited laboratories and investigations into the sources of contamination. A spokesman for Jalisco's government did not respond to a request for comment. (GSM, via Reuters)
