Contrasts between community and government water management in Ciénega de Chapala, Michoacán, México
Abstract
Supplying water to México’s whole population implies serious
problems when government capacity to satisfy the demand for
water resources is low. Experiences and abilities in community
organization to solve water needs with their own resources are
important if a process of governance for the liquid is sought
to be generated in the regional scope. This article analyzes
two different management models for the resource, for human
consumption: community and governmental, in Ciénega de
Chapala localities, in the state of Michoacán. Contrasts are
evident in terms of actors involved in the models, forms of
election, legal conditions, temporality of their administration,
control mechanisms, and differences in tubed water coverage
in the towns.
