The 2021 Tula River floods were a natural disaster caused by the overflow of the Tula River and several of its tributaries, affecting different municipalities in the Mezquital Valley in Hidalgo, Mexico.

Contents

The rising waters began in late August and early September; the first major floods occurred on September 6, mainly affecting the municipality of Tepeji del Río de Ocampo. In the early morning hours of September 7, the flooding of the river affected the city of Tula de Allende, and in the afternoon of that day it affected Ixmiquilpan. The next day, it affected the municipality of Tlahuelilpan, and then caused the water levels of the Zimapán Dam and the Moctezuma River to rise. River floods and overflows continued intermittently until early October.

The National Coordination of Civil Protection issued the Declaration of Emergency in the municipalities of Tlaxcoapan, Tula de Allende, Ixmiquilpan, Tezontepec de Aldama, Chilcuautla, Tasquillo, Tlahuelilpan, Tepeji del Río de Ocampo and Mixquiahuala de Juárez. [1] At least 31,000 homes were affected. [2] As well as 1700 commercial businesses, [3] 3600 thousand hectares of cultivation, [4] and more than 70,000 people affected. [5]

Among the damaged infrastructure are: 10 spas, 11 schools, three hospitals, 14 drinking water systems, three flea markets and plazas, six pedestrian bridges and 23 vehicular bridges. The company Telmex reported that telephone and internet service had been affected in 18 towns. [6]

Background

The Tula River receives water from the drainage systems of Mexico City and its metropolitan area, [7] particularly through the Central Emitter and Emisor Oriente Tunnel. [8] The basin is the mouth of the rivers El Salto, Roses, Tepeji and Tlautla and the dams Danxhó, on the Tlautla River, and the Taxhimay and Requena, on the Tepeji River, which discharges into the Tula River and whose current is retained downstream of Tula de Allende by the Endhó Dam. [8]

In August 2021, Hurricane Grace entered Mexican territory for the second time and affected several entities in the center and east of the country. [9] En el caso de Hidalgo, el paso del huracán trajo consigo lluvias severas y provocó la saturación hídrica de los suelos de la región; [10] The National Coordination of Civil Protection declared a disaster area to 27 municipalities of Hidalgo, located in the mountains and Huasteca Hidalgo. [11] [12]

Linked to this, a low pressure trough recorded in early September caused a series of severe storms in Mexico City, the State of Mexico and Hidalgo, resulting in an accumulation of 70 mm of rain and the onset of flooding in the Tula River basin. [10] Also the rains recorded in the State of Mexico that caused flooding in the municipality of Ecatepec Ecatepec affected the Tula River. [13]

The floods

The growth of the waters in the Tula River began at the beginning of September, reporting overflows and damage in the municipalities of Tezontepec de Aldama, Chilcuautla and Alfajayucan. [14] On September 6, the Tlautla River and the Palo Grande stream overflowed in the municipality of Tepeji del Río de Ocampo, affecting the communities of Santa Ana Atzcapotzaltongo and Los Álamos, and three neighborhoods were evacuated. [15] [16]

In the early morning of September 7, the Tula rivers and Rosas river overflowed and severely affected the city of Tula de Allende, when a large area of the central picture of the town was flooded. [17] A first evacuation of the Tula area took place and the floods continued throughout the afternoon of the same day, when regional storms ended up flooding the eastern sector of the municipal capital. The water level reached up to two meters. [18] Also on September 7, the Tula River overflowed in the city Ixmiquilpan and the area was evacuated for the first time. [19] [20] [21] The water level reached up to seven meters; but of those, only two meters exceeded the level of the streets on the side of the bank. [22] [23] [24]

On September 8, the Salado River (tributary of the Tula River) overflowed in Tlahuelilpan [25] [26] and the water level reached up to one meter. [27] Other municipalities affected were Mixquiahuala de Juárez, Chilcuautla, Tezontepec de Aldama, and Tlaxcoapan. [28] On the afternoon of September 8, the Government of Hidalgo requested the evacuation of the areas surrounding the Tula River, following the overflow of the Danxhó Dam and the discharge of the Taxhimay Dam, both in the State of Mexico. [29] [30] [31] The water from the dams flowed during the night, slower than calculated. [32] Also at night, the gates of the Requena dam, located about 15 kilometers from Tula, were opened. [33]

[40] Subsequently, it was reported that the Tula River in Ixmiquilpan had decreased drastically, to only two meters. [41] On September 12, the release of the Zimapán Dam ended. [42] On September 16, the rains again caused flooding in the center of Tula de Allende. [43] In Alfajayucan, the population was alerted by the release of the Chapantongo dams that connect with the Alfajayucan River. [44] As a result of the rains in the Valley of Mexico, it was decided to close the gates of the Requena dam as a preventive measure.

The municipality contains a number of villages of Otomí and Nahua origins, in which much of the indigenous culture still survives. The municipality's territory was defined in 1714 when a region known as Chiapan, split into what is now Chapa de Mota and Villa del Carbón. At that time, however, the community which is now a municipal seat did not have an official name; it was known first only by the name of its church Nuestra Señora de la Peña de Francia, and later by being a major supplier of charcoal. This would lead to the name of Villanueva del Carbón de Nuestra Señora Santa María de la Peña de Francia, which eventually shortened to Villa del Carbón. The major portions of the municipality's glyph, which serves as it coat-of-arms, does not reflect the town of Villa del Carbón but rather two of its oldest communities: Taxhimay and San Lorenzo Pueblo Nuevo.

Hurricane Bud was a Category 4 hurricane that brought winds and severe flooding to Mexico throughout its existence as a tropical cyclone in June 2018. It was the second named storm, hurricane, and major hurricane of the 2018 Pacific hurricane season. Bud originated from a tropical wave that departed from Western Africa on May 29. It traveled across the Atlantic Ocean before entering the Northeast Pacific Ocean late on June 6. The system moved towards the northwest and steadily organized, becoming a tropical depression on June 9 and Tropical Storm Bud early the next day. Favorable upper-level winds, ample moisture aloft, and warm sea surface temperatures allowed the storm to rapidly intensify to a hurricane late on June 10, and further to a major hurricane on the following day. Bud ultimately peaked the next morning with maximum sustained winds of 140 mph (230 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 943 mbar. Its track curved more northward while the storm rapidly succumbed to the effects of upwelling. Bud made landfall on Baja California Sur as a minimal tropical storm early on June 15. On the next day, land interaction and increasing wind shear caused Bud to degenerate into a post-tropical cyclone. It opened up into a trough of low-pressure on June 16. The remnants of Bud moved towards the Southwestern United States, bringing tropical moisture and gusty winds to the region.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Tropical Storm Vicente (2018)</span> Eastern Pacific tropical cyclone with landfall in Mexico

Tropical Storm Vicente was an unusually small tropical cyclone that made landfall as a tropical depression in the Mexican state of Michoacán on October 23, 2018, causing deadly mudslides. The 21st named storm of the 2018 Pacific hurricane season, Vicente originated from a tropical wave that departed from Africa's western coast on October 6. The wave traveled westward across the Atlantic and entered the Eastern Pacific on October 17. The disturbance became better defined over the next couple of days, forming into a tropical depression early on October 19. Located in an environment favorable for further development, the system organized into Tropical Storm Vicente later that day.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Potential Tropical Cyclone Seventeen-E</span> Pacific potential tropical cyclone in 2019

Potential Tropical Cyclone Seventeen-E was a tropical disturbance that caused damaging floods in Southern Mexico, Guatemala, and El Salvador in mid-October 2019. A tropical wave entered the Eastern Pacific Ocean during October 13–14, and a low-pressure area developed by October 14 to the west of Nicaragua. Convection, also known as thunderstorm activity, associated with the system increased in both intensity and extent during October 15, while the system was south of Guatemala. The National Hurricane Center initiated advisories on the system as Potential Tropical Cyclone Seventeen-E on October 16, anticipating that the system would become a tropical cyclone before reaching the southern coast of Mexico. During its existence as a potential tropical cyclone, Seventeen-E had winds of 35 mph (55 km/h) and a pressure of 1,005 mbar (29.68 inHg). As the storm tracked northwestward towards the coast, its structure decayed, and the chance of tropical cyclogenesis decreased markedly. The disturbance made landfall between Bahias de Huatulco and Salina Cruz, Oaxaca, during mid-day October 16 and dissipated a few hours later.
