Abstract

The paper describes and analyzes the government, administration and operation of systems of drinking water in six rural communities in the Ciénega de Chapala, Michoacan, Mexico. The goal is to display and analyze the capabilities and possibilities of self-management and effective social management of water resources in rural communities, providing evidence to support legal recognition of local organizations and thereby strengthen the regulatory framework of action of these organizations in water management. The social and economic indicators show the various mechanisms that have developed local organizations to govern, manage and operate the systems of drinking water with minimal bureaucracy and own resources, involving aspects of linkage and co-management with government agencies.
