Why is water scarcity a serious issue in Mexico?
Problem is not scarcity but distribution: low-lying areas along the Gulf of Mexico and Yucatan Peninsula receive in excess of 1,000 millimeters (40 inches) of rainfall in an average year, with the wettest region being the southeastern state of Tabasco, which typically receives approximately 2,000 millimeters (80 inches) of rainfall on an annual basis.
Northern Mexico, on the other hand, has arid or semi-arid climate; on the extreme north lie the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts where most of this scarcity is found. Rainfall in these regions averages between 300 and 600 millimeters (12-24 inches) per year, and temperature variations are pronounced, between 5°C (41°F) on winter up to 42°C (107°F) on summer months. This means in case of drought, whole harvests are lost, while livestock is decimated, resulting in millions of dollars lost.

What countries independence was established in 1821?
Belgium
Answer
I would like to improve the answer as follows:
The Belgium as nation didn't exist in the year 1831. It was created by the union of Flemish and Walloon peoples which obtain the independence from the Netherlands.
It was thought it had to be built up as a neutral State in order to more effectively separate France from the strategically pivotal region of the Scheldt Estuary.
Leopold of the German House Saxony-Coburg-Gotha was appointed King of the Belgian People.
This "nomination" satisfied both French and British interests especially because at that time Germany was still divided in many States of minor importance and power sometimes having contrasting political and economical relationship.
A King of German Origin, wouldn't have therefore had no interest to support a politic which could harm British sensitivity about that delicate area and no interest which could annoy a powerful neighbour like France either.
The equilibrium in being since the fall of Napoleon had been safeguarded.
