Water conflicts in Mexico are an increasing phenomenon. However, there are various theoretical, conceptual information and public policy gaps that account for this.This is due in part to the almost null existence of systematic studies in this regard and statistics that provide aggregate information on this problem, as a way of action for its prevention and/or resolution. In this sense, this work presents a methodological proposal for the identification, quantification and characterization of conflicts around water in Mexico, focusing on conflicts of a sub-national or internal nature. In addition, as this methodology was applied in the country, the results obtained are presented. Among these results, the identification and characterization of almost 90 conflicts over water throughout the country stands out.
