Community management of irrigation water in two rural communities in the Central Valley of Oaxaca

Water management refers to the organization and administration of water from the local level, in terms of its access, distribution, and use. The access to water in sufficient quantity is imperative in its management, however, in very few regions of Mexico its quality is well known. This occurs in th...

description Water management refers to the organization and administration of water from the local level, in terms of its access, distribution, and use. The access to water in sufficient quantity is imperative in its management, however, in very few regions of Mexico its quality is well known. This occurs in the Central Valley of Oaxaca, particularly in the basin of the Atoyac River. The aim is to analyze the community management of irrigation water in the communities of Ciénega de Zimatlán and Santa Catarina Quiané. 49 interviews were carried out, which main axis was to know the form organization and administration of water and to identify the considerations in relation to its quality. At the same time, 11 water samples were collected, analyzed and physicochemical quality indices were determined. The communities have a water committee for each well or irrigation unit with associated farmers, the organization of irrigation is by assembly. 70 % of farmers consider that the water is of good quality, laboratory results support this, since only 50 % of the wells have salinity problems that affect the crops in the dry season.

La gestión del agua hace alusión a la organización y administración del agua desde lo local, en cuanto a su acceso, distribución y uso. El acceso al agua en cantidad y calidad suficientes es parte fundamental en su gestión, sin embargo, en muy pocas regiones de México se conoce con certeza su calidad. Esto se presenta en la región Valles Centrales de Oaxaca, particularmente en la zona de influencia del río Atoyac. El objetivo es analizar la gestión comunitaria del agua para riego en las comunidades Ciénega de Zimatlán y Santa Catarina Quiané. Se realizaron 49 entrevistas, cuyo eje central es conocer la forma de organización y administración del agua e identificar las consideraciones respecto a su calidad. Al mismo tiempo, se colectaron 11 muestras de agua, se analizaron y se determinaron índices de calidad físicoquímica. Las comunidades tienen un comité de agua por cada pozo o unidad de riego con agricultores asociados, la organización del riego es por asamblea. El 70 % de agricultores consideran que el agua es de buena calidad, los resultados de laboratorio respaldan esto, toda vez que solo el 50 % de los pozos presentan problemas de salinidad que afecta a los cultivos en el estiaje.
