The Monterrey Metropolitan Area (MMA) is the third greatest urban area of Mexico. Owing to the rapid industrialization and urbanization of this city, more water resources are necessary in this semi-arid region. Thus, the objectives of this work were to characterize the chemical properties of groundwater supplied to MMA and to assess inter-annual variations in the water chemistry. Three groups of water were identified: recharge waters from mountain belts dominated by marine sedimentary rocks (Ca-HCO3 type), transition zone waters from alluvial sediments (Ca-HCO3-SO4 type) and waters flowing through conglomerates and alluvial sediments of the northeastern MMA (Ca-SO4 type). The ionic composition and the salinity gradient of each water group were in agreement with the topographic flow paths of the study area. The non-parametric Mann-Whitney U-test indicated that there have been no significant changes on the groundwater quality supplied to the MMA between the years 2006 and 2012.

This presentation focus on the challenges for the XXI century and solutions for the future regarding water, energy and environment. The characterization of the current world situation in terms of geopolitics, economy, global threats and resources, including not only minerals and energy but also water and food, is addressed. Structural and environmental challenges that are reshaping the commodities and energy markets are discussed. The situation of water resources is addressed with the growing number of the countries with scarce access to resources and the need to find sustainable solutions for the future. Finally a vision of the main issues for the future is presented addressing emerging trends that are under development, specially in the energy markets.
