    Water management faces a new global paradigm, driven by climate change, urban growth, competition among uses (domestic, industrial, agricultural, and energy), inefficient use, pollution, and obsolete infrastructure. As a limited resource, water has acquired strategic relevance, demanding comprehensive approaches that go beyond technical aspects to incorporate social, economic, and political dimensions. This thesis analyzes the role of water as a scarce and valuable economic resource, combining micro and macroeconomic perspectives. At the micro level, it studies the financial self- sufficiency of operating agencies and productive diversification in irrigation districts as indicators of efficiency and sustainability. At the macro level, it examines how water availability and quality affect subnational economic growth. The empirical analysis is based on three studies: 1) a panel database of 31 urban agencies (2017–2019) reveals that financial self-sufficiency is positively associated with domestic tariffs and operational efficiencies, and negatively with location in the southeast of the country; 2) a dynamic model for the 32 federal entities (2005-2020) shows that water availability is positively related to per capita GDP, though not to growth rates; and 3) in 86 irrigation districts, it is demonstrated that crop diversification improves water yield, with statistically significant effects. The findings confirm that the water problem in Mexico must be addressed as a comprehensive economic challenge, with implications for public management, applied economics, and water policy design.

    The Impact of Water Availability and Pollution on Economic Growth at the Sub-National Level: Evidence from Mexico

    There is no doubt about the significance of water for economic activities at the microeconomic level. By contrast, the evidence is inconclusive at the macroeconomic level, particularly concerning economic growth. Arguably, the expected positive nexus between water and growth is obscured by factor mobility and aggregation of economic activities in a large space (the whole country). Nonetheless, the water-growth nexus should be observable at sub-national levels. Accordingly, we test the significance of water for the economic growth of the 32 Mexican states over the years 2005–2020. We build a unique data set with measures of water availability (the ratio of water withdrawals to renewable water resources) and pollution (biological oxygen demand). Using dynamic panel techniques that control for endogeneity concerns, it is found that water explains per capita GDP levels, but there is no evidence favoring a relationship with GDP growth rates. Nonetheless, policymakers should recognize the positive association between water resources and economic growth. Subsequently, they should formulate policies to promote innovation and efficiency in water use, together with measures dedicated to preserving and improving water quality. These findings are significant for Mexican states facing water underutilization, particularly in the south, and those near overexploitation, particularly in the north and central regions. In economically disadvantaged southern Mexico, increasing water usage can spur economic growth. However, to facilitate overall economic development, it could be necessary for this region to engage in water trade with the more prosperous northern and central regions of the country.

    Determinantes de la autosuficiencia financiera de los organismos operadores de agua mexicanos
    (2024)
    ;
    <jats:p>El objetivo de este artículo es explorar las variables que impactan en la autosuficiencia financiera de los organismos operadores de agua en México. Para lo anterior, se construye una base de datos de panel con la información pública disponible de 31 organismos de grandes ciudades que atienden a una tercera parte de la población urbana del país durante los años 2017 a 2019 referente a autosuficiencia financiera, tarifa doméstica, comercial e industrial, nivel de subsidio cruzado, eficiencia física, eficiencia comercial, eficiencia de cobro, eficiencia global y una variable dicotómica que se activa cuando el organismo es de un estado del sureste mexicano. Se encuentra que hay una relación significativa positiva entre la autosuficiencia, y las variables tarifa doméstica, eficiencia física, eficiencia comercial y eficiencia global. Asimismo, hay una fuerte relación significativa negativa entre la autosuficiencia y que el organismo pertenezca a un estado en el sureste mexicano. Se concluye que la información financiera pública de los organismos es muy limitada y que una adecuada tarifa, así como la eficiencia en la gestión, incrementan la autosuficiencia financiera; asimismo, los estados del sureste, donde hay mucha agua, carecen de incentivos para mejorar la eficiencia de los organismos operadores de agua.</jats:p>

    Rapid metropolitan growth in water-stressed megacity regions has renewed interest in decentralized urban development, yet such strategies often overlook binding environmental and legal constraints. This study applies a feasibility-screening framework to evaluate decentralized growth potential in the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area (GMA), Mexico, using a sequential, non-compensatory approach based on necessary conditions rather than composite sustainability indices. Transport connectivity, population and territorial context, food production capacity, and integrated water availability are assessed for three candidate municipalities. While all cases satisfy the structural and contextual conditions, the results indicate that water availability constitutes the dominant limiting factor when physical supply and legal accessibility are jointly considered. Only one municipality meets the water feasibility criterion under current conditions, whereas the others fail despite favorable performance in other dimensions. The framework provides a transferable tool for early-stage urban planning in water-constrained megacity regions.
