A confrontation over a water spring between 1,500 police and residents of a village on Mexico City’s western outskirts leaves more than 100 police injured and five people arrested. It is the latest in a series of clashes over increasingly scarce water in the city, which draws much of its supply from surrounding states. Local governments say they are trying to extend municipal supply to the area; residents are afraid the objective is to take control over a local water source.
