GARCIA CORZO, Rebeca Vanesa. Engineers, Ranchers and Businessmen Conflicts over Water Control and Usage in the Lerma River in Jalisco in the Late 19th and Early 20th Centuries. Let. hist. [online]. 2016, n.15, pp.145-177. ISSN 2448-8372.
This work is an approach to the dynamics set among some engineers, landowners and businessmen in their struggle to partially appropriate the water of Lerma River that crossed their land in Jalisco. The article is focused on the practices of appropriation and usage strategies as well as on water consumption in a key moment for the industrial development of Jalisco, and the modification of the current technological paradigm at that time: the introduction of electricity with hydropower. The text allows to observe how the transition from small to large hydro technology provided an opportunity to develop the best skills of the engineers-ranchers.
