Abstract
SANDOVAL-MORENO, Adriana and OCHOA-OCANA, María Antonieta. Local groups, access to water and the pollution problem of Chapala marsh, Michoacan. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2010, vol.10, n.34, pp.683-719. ISSN 2448-6183.
This paper approaches the problem of local groups in respect to water access and its pollution in Chapala marsh in Michoacan; the cases of agriculturists, fishermen and inhabitants of the population centers are exposed, which share the land, face disjunctives to access water and the implications in the development of their activities from the use of polluted water. Before this situation, several of these groups perform short-reach, not integral, actions with the sole end of providing themselves with water; these conditions might deepen the problem rather than lead to sustainable water management in the region.
