Abstract

LOPEZ, Gustavo; GARCIA, Miriam M.; GAMEROS, Luis A.  and  ROCHA, Ana Paulina de la. Use of a Water-Saving System to Conserve Ecosystems for Water Resources. Tecnol. cienc. agua [online]. 2015, vol.6, n.6, pp.125-135. ISSN 2007-2422.

In the northwestern region of Mexico is border between Mexico and the United States (US), it is carried out an evaluation of a possible problem of the small amount of water that Mexico receives from our neighbor to the north, from the Rio Colorado (RC) from United States. Sometimes USA sends contaminated water to Mexico, by chemicals mainly because the hydric resource, comes from soil washing in the United States, from agricultural activities. In addition, USA, proposed a process to coat the All American Canal (CTA), which has resulted in decreased of aquifers Mexicali Valley, generating concern in authorities and the population of Mexico. This has led to damage ecosystems and thus present climate changes that increase the levels of relative humidity (RH) and temperature, and thus causes corrosion in the industry and generates economic losses, which reduces competitiveness in the electronics industry in this region.

Keywords : Ecosystems; industrial competitiveness; corrosion; water saving equipment.
