| Resumo: | The center of this discussion is on the Agreement of Understanding for the Use of the Waters of the Verde River of 2019, which assigns 120 million cubic meters of water from the El Zapotillo dam for León, Guanajuato. The present objective, based on the perspective of the new culture of water, is to demonstrate the inconsistency of Guanajuato institutions, which insist on said volume of water as necessary for that city. The basis for this inconsistency is based on a descriptive-relational methodology that analyzed water management in León (2008-2018), by means of which it was determined that El Zapotillo is not essential for the city, because the crisis is not physical but socially constructed by the operating body, a problem that requires local attention and consequently another solution. |
