En la parte alta de la cuenca, la precipitación es modulada de manera significativa (p<0.05) por El Niño Oscilación del Sur (ENSO, por sus siglas en inglés) tanto en su fase fría (La Niña), al producir intensa escasez de agua con repercusiones económicas, políticas y sociales para los pobladores de la Comarca Lagunera, como en su fase cálida (El Niño), con importantes incrementos en la pluviometría de la región.

  • Situacion Actual Del Recurso Agua
    Capítulo 7. Situación actual del recurso agua José Luís González Barrios Luc Descroix Jambon Ignacio Sánchez Cohen Introducción Ya desde el siglo XVI se documentaba al agua como el principal factor de los asentamientos humanos en el antiguo territorio de la Comarca Lagunera (Corona, 2005). La importancia de los ríos, arroyos y lagunas fue evidente para los primeros pobladores que asentaron sus comunidades cerca de los cauces y embalses naturales, mucho antes del panorama actual dominado por lagunas secas, canales de riego, extensas tierras de cultivo, presas y ciudades. El agua sigue siendo un recurso muy importante para el desarrollo económico de la Comarca Lagunera, sin embargo, con el paso del tiempo, ese desarrollo ha generado recíprocamente una demanda hídrica cada vez mayor y la derrama económica de las actividades productivas no ha ayudado a ordenar el consumo de este recurso, cuyas reservas aun mal estimadas y poco seguras, parecen disminuir hasta agotarse. La elevada extracción de aguas subterráneas, por ejemplo, se ha mantenido durante los últimos sesenta años, provocando un abatimiento sostenido de casi 1.5 m por año y un deterioro gradual de la calidad del agua. Los escenarios futuros con un consumo hídrico igual, son insostenibles para esta región desértica que requiere urgentemente de un ordenamiento en el uso y manejo del agua. Este capitulo presenta una aproximación del estado que guarda el recurso agua en la Comarca Lagunera y sus principales fuentes de abasto hídrico. La Comarca Lagunera inmersa en la cuenca hidrológica Nazas-Aguanaval La Comarca Lagunera es una importante región económica en el norte centro de México que abarca quince municipios (47,980 km2) de los estados de Coahuila y Durango, donde se generan abundantes bienes y servicios relacionados con la actividad agropecuaria e industrial.

The studies of socioeconomic type in walnut in Mexico are mainly descriptive, studies that analyze the relationships between the different variables of the crop that allow making recommendations to boost their growth are required. The objective of this work was to analyze the relationship between various socioeconomic factors such as garden size, training and financing with variables such as yields, price, gross income, infrastructure for harvesting and sale of selected nuts. To obtain the information, a survey was applied during 2014 to a sample of 27 orchards distributed throughout the region. The data were analyzed by Analysis of Variance of a factor to compare the means of the groups: orchards that receive vs those that do not receive training, orchards that receive vs those that do not receive financing; and orchards of up to three hectares vs.

  • Mexico 1 Mexico
    MEXICO MEXICO (1999) Executive summary 1. The Federal Competition Commission (CFC) studied 5551 files in 1999, a figure representing a reduction of 2.8 percent compared to 1998. Of these, 291 cases correspond to mergers and acquisitions, 104 dealt with privatisation processes and concessions or permits for providing public services, 107 comprised anticompetitive practices and inter-state trade restrictions, three are assessments about competition conditions in specific regulated sectors and 50 files concerned competition issues consulted by economic agents to the CFC. The total number of cases concluded in 1999 was 428, a figure 8.74 percent below the one registered during the previous year. 2. Most of the anticompetitive practices investigated and concluded were about horizontal price fixing agreements, refusal to deal, exclusive dealing, boycott and price discrimination or predation. As in previous years, an important amount of mergers notified for review had an international dimension, the two most outstanding involved Monsanto/Cargill and Coca Cola/Cadbury Schweppes. 3. During 1999 the CFC issued several opinions regarding competition aspects of sector specific laws and regulations. Among those reviewed were the Regulations to LP Gas, the Regulations to the Provision of Radio and Television Cable Services; and the Regulations to the Provision of Delivery of Parcel and Document Services. It is also important to mention the CFC participation in the drafting of the federal government proposals for restructuring the electric industry. I. Changes to competition policies, proposed or adopted 4. The Regulations for the Implementation of the Federal Law of Economic Competition and the Internal Regulations of the Federal Competition Commission were issued in 1998.

  • The Ostrich Politics of Groundwater Development and Neoliberal Regulation in Mexico

Water Alternatives 11(3): 552-571 The Ostrich Politics of Groundwater Development and Neoliberal Regulation in Mexico Jaime Hoogesteger Water Resources Management Group, Wageningen University, Wageningen, The Netherlands; [email protected] ABSTRACT: In this article I present the politics that spurred groundwater development in Central and Northern Mexico between 1930 and 1990, and analyse the working/effects of the neoliberal groundwater policies that were implemented in the country since the 1990s. I first present, based on an analysis of the Comarca Lagunera and the state of Guanajuato, the socio-economic, political and institutional dynamics that shaped groundwater development between 1930 and 1990, with a special focus on how with state support large commercial farmers and small ejidatarios developed groundwater irrigation. My analysis shows how the actors involved in groundwater development, just like ostriches, stuck their head in the sand, oblivious to aquifer overdraft and its environmental consequences. Then I present how – since the 1990s – neoliberal groundwater regulation policies have worked out on the ground opening the doors to regulatory capture and groundwater accumulation through capital, oblivious to sustained aquifer overdraft, a shrinking peasant ejido sector, increased rural outmigration and the health threat of toxic concentration of Fluoride and Arsenic

Edwards, an early student of revolution cogently argued that revolutions do not produce social change, but rather that they are an indication that vast changes have already occurred within a society. 1 It is sixty-four years since the outbreak of the Mexican Revolution, one of the £rst social revolutions of the twentieth century. Since then a vast amount of scholarly work has focused on the Revolution, but it is only within the last six or seven years that a new generation of Mexicanists has begun to examine in minute detail its internal mechanisms. The revolu­ tionary movement was highly eclectic, and lacked a coherent ideology on the national level, but many historians of the Revolu­ tion have treated it as if there were such an ideology. The scrcalled "custodians of the Revolution" have consistently maintained that the primary impetus for the Revolution was political oppression by the regime of Por£rio Diaz.
