Thank you very much for the invitation. Very happy to come here on these December dates, to be able to talk about the capture of rainwater and the whole issue of the crisis in which we live.

Of course. Well, at Isla Urbana we are dedicated to design and implement rainwater capture systems. We have existed since 2009. This year we are 15 years old. And throughout these 15 years we have grown, especially by implementing rainwater capture systems in the most remote places and with more water vulnerability. That has always been our vision. We work

We work

especially in places where the public water system does not reach the water. So it is places where it has a lot of water vulnerability and a lot of scarcity. Therefore, we try and seek to reach those places, either here in Mexico City or anywhere in Mexico.

Claro. Bueno, justo este año en el Congreso de la Ciudad de México se aprobó que los sistemas de captación de agua de lluvia sean por ley instalados ya en todos los hogares de las casas aquí en la Ciudad de México.

Sí, en las nuevas, en las nuevas, en las nuevas, en las construcciones nuevas. Sí, digamos que esas pues ya, exacto, pero en las nuevas sí tienen que tener ya por ley un sistema de captación de agua de lluvia. Obviamente es la ley, ¿no? Ya cuando se implemente, pues ya es todo otro proceso, ¿no? Pero eso pues ya está como que en un primer plano.

Yes, of course, of course. I mean, we started this way of getting to other places, but in reality we already... Well, we have also developed to install in private homes, to install in schools.

We have a program called Rain Schools that precisely seeks to give water and provide clean, abundant and quality water to all public schools that have a shortage of rainwater and that when they don't have water. Well, they have to stop attending school, right? So, it has been a program that has gone very well for us. It has been awarded internationally.

Also, now we are entering the industrial part. We are entering industries, right? Industries are also the ones that consume the most water. And, well, there are many industries that begin to do, well, have this awareness of the importance and the impact they have on the use of water. And they also begin to use industrialized systems that are already systematized and everything, right?

Simply, I mean, we put all the technology there. Para que todo sea automatizado, mira todo cuando se llena con agua de lluvia. Los sistemas hacen todo para que ya a ellos no le tengan que mover nada. Oye, Simón, pero a ver, vamos a... Por principio.

Exactly. Well, the system is designed for, let's say, for first-use water in the sense of human contact, right? That's what it's called. Still, to drink, you need another step. But let's say, the first step and the foundation of the capture of rainwater, which has been used throughout the history of humanity, right? Uh-huh. which is simply the foundation of having a roof, right?
