A Bloody War for Water in Mexico

Mexico City's reservoirs consistently rank amongst the most contaminated
supplies to any world capital. Drinking from the tap here is simply not
recommended. Ramez's water, however, comes directly from a volcanic spring
in San Bartolo Ameyalco, an otherwise impoverished town on the hilly
southwestern outskirts of Mexico City, in the borough called Alvaro
Obregon.

.
Ramez is leader of a group in San Bartolo Ameyalco intent on keeping their
water supply local. Last Wednesday, Ramez along with approximately two
thousand other residents of Ameyalco attacked a police force of fifteen
hundred riot officers who were guarding the final construction stage of a
pipeline that will connect the town's volcanic spring to Santa Fe, one of
the most affluent districts of the Mexican capital.
.
In videos posted online, San Bartolo residents are seen violently
pummeling an officer in riot gear who had fallen to the ground.
.
The residents beat back both police and pipeline engineers, leaving at
least 100 police officers injured, 20 seriously. Residents said dozens
were injured on their side, and authorities arrested five people. Mexico
City's government warned that more arrests would come.
.
While the battle of the morning of May 21 was won by the residents of San
Bartolo Ameyalco, what the locals now popularly call the 'Water War' is
sure to be long and tense.
.
"The people are united," said Mar Chez, one of the leaders of the town's
resistance, which has based itself in the public library. The municipal
building is papered with messages of support from other towns in the
region. A banner proclaimed: "Our water is not for sale."
