RODRIGUEZ SANCHEZ, Antonio. Disputes over Water between the Pasteje Industrial Complex and Los Reyes Jocotitlan, State of Mexico (Mexico): Industrial and Water Spatialization on a Regional Scale. Secuencia [online]. 2022, n.114, e1917.  Epub 19-Sep-2022. ISSN 2395-8464.  https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i114.1917.

The impact of the management, use of water and the industrialization process in the municipality of Jocotitlan, State of Mexico, between 1940-1980 is analyzed. In addition, are identified the disputes related to water appropriation between the ejido Los Reyes and the Pasteje Industrial Complex. For the analysis, 4 in-depth interviews were conducted, and archival documents were consulted. It was found that the ejido Los Reyes lived mainly two episodes that affected their agricultural production and access to water, the first with the irruption of the Industrial Complex to the municipality and the second with the second stage of water transfer to Mexico City. The results suggest that disputes over water control in the region are emerging processes that stem from the relationship between the institutions in charge of national water policy and hegemonic actors, whose interaction produces a space on regional scale.
