El texto explica la variedad de ideas propuestas por ingenieros y otros expertos, muchos de los cuales imaginaron un espacio de múltiples usos, con fines agrícolas, silvícolas, recreativos y ecológicos. La aportación de esta investigación consiste en mostrar cómo y por qué esos planes e ideas cambiaron a lo largo del siglo XX. Los resultados muestran que la transformación de su aspecto y naturaleza ha sido un anhelo constante, limitado por las especiales condiciones del subsuelo. Para la realización de esta investigación se consultó un gran número de fuentes escritas y se acudió al Archivo Histórico y Biblioteca Central del Agua y al Museo Archivo de la Fotografía.Instituto de Investigaciones Históricas2020-06-08info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtículo revisado por pares; artículo editado anónimamenteapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://moderna.historicas.unam.mx/index.php/ehm/article/view/7069510.22201/iih.24485004e.2019.58.70695Estudios de Historia Moderna y Contemporánea de México; Núm. 58 (2019); 259-2872448-50040185-262010.22201/iih.24485004e.2019.58reponame:Estudios de Historia Moderna y Contemporánea de Méxicoinstname:UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL AUTÓNOMA DE MÉXICOinstacron:UNAMspahttps://moderna.historicas.unam.mx/index.php/ehm/article/view/70695/67132https://moderna.historicas.unam.mx/index.php/ehm/article/view/70695/69190Derechos de autor 2020 Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Méxicohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.esinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/706952024-08-16T17:20:16Z
