Feasibility analysis from recharging of the system of aquifers mantles in the basin of Mexico valley

The fast growth of population in Mexico City has brought an increased demand for water to meet their requirements, for these reason the natural groundwater in the basin of the valley of Mexico have been overexploited. There is a considerable imbalance in the amount of water needed for natural recharge of the aquifers of the City, the problem is generated because natural recharge system became covered with the construction of infrastructure, roads and buildings authorized by previous systems of governance with unsustainable policies, carryings to the resilience limits to the hydrologic system. Based on statistics of the zone, the annual rainfall on the basin is more than necessary to satisfy the consumption of the population. However, most of this water is not utilized efficiently, which is not only a grave error, but also helps in increasing the problems of drainage and water extraction from the subsoil of the City. Based on the growing problems, it is necessary to find solutions that contribute to better utilization of natural resources, specifically the water, reason why this proposal will contribute in this direction, developing comprehensive studies which show the best mechanisms applicable for a better exploitation of the vital liquid. This work shows: 1) The development of an study to manage in an integral way the recharge of aquifers with rainwater utilization, 2) Analysis quality of water for recharge, because Mexico City is a of the world's most polluted cities, 3) The design of a behavioral model of recharge and water extraction for pilot testing. The development of this project is funded by the Institute of Science and Technology of the Federal District (ICyTDF), Mexico.
