NAUMIS-PENA, Catalina  and  VARGAS-SUAREZ, Verónica. Standardization of Mexican terminology on water. Investig. bibl [online]. 2009, vol.23, n.49, pp.125-148. ISSN 2448-8321.

The result of a research intended to know about the state of terminological standardization in specialized thesauri which include water within its areas, is exposed contrasting the terms used in Mexican literature of the field. Documentation generated over the theme of water in Mexico grows exponentially, but water problems keep demanding integral solutions. Presently neither a thesaurus nor a terminology over the theme of water exists in Mexico, nor a concrete terminological offer over this theme in Spanish. This paper confronts the water theme, the terminology used in the Mexican Spanish and the problems found in terminological intermediation based on Library Science in order to represent those contents in the information systems.

Keywords : Terminological standardization; Water terminology.
