Fallos intencionados y no intencionados en el control de la extracción de aguas subterráneas

In Mexico, there has been a great growth in deep wells that extract groundwater at unsustainable levels. It is necessary to document the background and analyze the elements that historically converged for the appearance of failures to control extractions. The objective is to identify historical deviations in the application of current regulations according to the administrative and operational capacity of the water authority that led to the overexploitation of aquifers. The study method is reflective-analytical of a qualitative nature supported based on official data and documentary sources. A weak water authority, with budgetary and technical limitations, and poorly focused policies or programs, led to a lack of control of extractions, coupled with legislation and its limited, although often well-intentioned, regulatory legal framework, which resulted in the absence or poor application of regulatory instruments for transparent and efficient compliance
