CAMPUZANO SALAZAR, Amaya Julieta. Systems of charges and management of drinking water in the committees of Toluca de Lerdo. Tecnol. cienc. agua [online]. 2019, vol.10, n.1, pp.52-84. Epub 21-Abr-2021. ISSN 2007-2422. https://doi.org/10.24850/j-tyca-2019-01-03.
According to what was researched in ethnographic field work, from January 2013 to June 2014, it was found that in 18 Delegations of Toluca de Lerdo in the State of Mexico, the responsibility to operate, manage and distribute the water is at charge of the water committees, consisting mostly of a pyramidal structure where there is a president, a secretary and a treasurer, generally these positions are occupied by people who have covered civic-religious positions and whose rules of life are governed by the customary law, (uses and customs) organized by the general assembly of the people, the main authority in the community that has the right to voice and vote. This research shows a strong community management carried out by the Delegations of Toluca and identifies the open and closed communities (Wolf, 1981), which allowed to know and analyze the different social structures of the water committees highlighting their equity, democracy, governance and governability.
