Abstract

In this investigation about disputes over water in the Valle de
Texmelucan, we found that it is mainly the change in economic
and productive orientation, as well as the demographic change,
expressed in a concentration of resource property, as well as
their management, and not the increase in indigenous population,
derived from the territorial reorganization that Spanish
colonization implied on the basis of the region’s water resources,
what founded and established a new territoriality, unleashing
struggle and conflicts over this resource especially since the second
half of the 17th Century, when we also find a repositioning of
agricultural activity in the New Spain.
