La autogestión del agua para el riego en el módulo del Alto Apatlaco, Distrito de riego de Morelos, México

Abstract

This text analyzes the self-management processes of the irrigation communities of the Alto Apatlaco Module, in the state of Morelos, within the different governmental models imposed over time. The historical analysis and the detailed review of three governmental management models demonstrate the persistence and adaptation of self-management processes in these communities. Although the community organization has undergone adjustments and adaptations in response to the new governmental frameworks, they are maintained because they have managed to articulate themselves as entities nested within the structures created by the State. This shows the capacity of the irrigation communities to maintain their self-management over time, adapting to governmental dynamics and preserving the ejido as a basic form of organization.
