Abstract

Puebla, the second most important city during the Colonial
period, became an urban center of great relevance for the New
Spain during the 17th Century, when the population required
running water services to solve basic needs of daily life. In this
article, we present an analysis of the location of available water
sources, and ways of conduction and distribution for the liquid,
in order to understand the problems that Colonial authorities
faced when responding to the population’s water requirement in
Puebla during the second century of Colonial life.
