Seven dams in Hidalgo reached 99.1% capacity following the heavy rains recorded in recent days in the state, according to an official report from the National Water Commission (Conagua).
The document issued on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, indicates that, due to excess water, there is water spillage in the Taxhimay and Endhó dams, the latter being the largest in the state by surface area.
While the Taxhimay dam has 100.5% of its stored water, it is releasing 6,235 cubic meters of water per second.
The Endhó dam has 101.7% of its stored water and is releasing 46,733 cubic meters of water per second.
Another reservoir slightly above 100% is the Requena Reservoir, which is at 100.1% capacity. However, it has no problems continuing to store the incoming water.
Levels of other dams in Hidalgo
Meanwhile, at the Rojo Gómez Dam, Conagua is carrying out controlled releases of the liquid because it is at 95% capacity. This represents 15.0 cubic meters of water per second.
La Esperanza Dam has reached 100% capacity, and the Zimapán hydroelectric plant, Fernando Hiriart Balderrama, is at 99.1%.
Meanwhile, the Vicente Aguirre Dam is the one of the seven existing dams in Hidalgo with the largest available space, as it is 73.5% full.
Since mid-August 2025, both Mexico City and the State of Mexico have experienced heavy rains, which impact the state because stormwater and wastewater reach Hidalgo.
It is worth mentioning that Conagua urges the population to heed warnings from the National Meteorological Service and follow Civil Protection recommendations, and to take extreme precautions against winds.
