The drought spell of the1990s has reduced fresh water availability in northern Mexico. Conflicts between users, and political entities have appeared inseveral watersheds. The río San Juan watershead is a classic example where water resources are of paramount importance forsustainable development. We aimed to predict future water supply and demand along the main of the río San Juan, from ElCuchillo reservoir to the confluence with the Rio Bravo. Monotonic increases in municipal water demand sector in the MonterreyMetropolitan Area and future water supplies predicted under normal and dry conditions were assumed in assessing future waterallocation. The results indicate that water allotted for irrigation dramatically decrease under normal and dry conditions, shrinkingthe size of irrigated lands. We recommend implementation of sustainable management of water resources to buffer the potentialcontraction of irrigated lands and the disappearance of riparian ecosystems in the lower watershed f the río San Juan. 2001 artículo científico 0016-7169 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=56840205 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=568 Geofísica Internacional application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Geofísica Internacional (México) Num.2 Vol.40 |
