  The Necaxa River rises in the state of Puebla and extends to Veracruz. Together with four other rivers: El Tejocotal, Los Reyes, Patla, and Tenango, Necaxa produces a total of 172 million litres of water generating electrical power not only for Puebla, but for the states of Tlaxcala, Hidalgo, Estado de México and the Federal District, in addition to many people in the center of the country; The Necaxa is located inside Puebla, and feeds the Tepexi River, that runs to the west of the state, and constitutes one of the flows of the  Necaxa, which travels through a tunnel to the Río de Patla, serving various municipalities of the Northern Mountain Range, such as Patla y Chicontla, then enters the state of Veracruz, where it traverses the municipalities of  Cuahuitlán, Coyutla, El Espinal, Papantla, Gutiérrez Zamora and Tecolutla, increasing its volume upon uniting with other forks, forming the Río Tecolutla, which flows out to the Gulf of Mexico in the municipality of the same name.
