For decades, Tula River has been the subject of several research, as wastewater has been used for irrigation of crops, causing health problems to local population.

Therefore, in this review summarize the relationship that floods have with climate and socioeconomic change, having special interest in the drainage system of the metropolitan area of the Valley of Mexico and their relationship with the overflow of Tula River.
