Student Edition Roberts Environmental Center, Claremont McKenna College Beard, Steve, 1998. Water Management in Mexico. Claremont Environmental Policy Briefs, Student Edition, December 1998. Roberts Environmental Center, Claremont McKenna College, Claremont, California Water Management in Mexico Steve Beard, Pitzer College Planet earth, commonly called the water planet, is covered by water. This precious resource needs to be managed with care.
Water is the world's most plentiful resource, yet management of it is an elusive task.
I argue that Mexico's water management must be improved. I am particularly interested in the supply, treatment, distribution and disposal of water for humans. A survey of four places in Mexico will be analyzed to gain a better understanding of the current management on water in Mexico. I will make a diagonal approach across the country, from the Northwest, Tijuana, to the Southeast, Oaxaca. Although this is not a complete survey of every water management situation in Mexico it will give the reader a thorough overview of water management.
