Possible Conflict Points Scarcity and Development Upstream Pollutant Downstream Historic use Political power Absolute volumes in water allocation Political Boundaries do not match Social Boundaries Political Force/Party Duplicity of work o Plan ahead o Negotiate a treaty with your neighbor before someone else does!

Discussion What is the comparison between the situation in central Mexico and other regions in the world? What are the possible solutions to achieve a sustainable use of water in the region? What are the pros and cons of an alternative population center in the state of Aguascalientes?
