"Can
Mexico Pull Through?" (cover story), Forbes, August 15, 1983.
Mexico is a nation of 75 million people (soon to become 100 million) that
has lots of oil but little water, spawning more and more disequilibrium
between population and resources, especially in the arid central highlands,
where three-fourths of Mexico’s people are concentrated. Mexico’s
chronic water shortage threatens to limit further economic development and
to greatly decrease its self-sufficiency in food production. Includes edited

Madrid. Portuguese version in Jornal da Tarde, Sao Paulo, January 28,
1984.
