THE RESILIENCE OF SAN PEDRO TULTEPEC, LERMA AGAINST THE SHORTAGE OF DRINKING WATER OF THE COMMITTEES/LA RESILIENCIA DE SAN PEDRO TULTEPEC, LERMA FRENTE A LA ESCASEZ DE AGUA POTABLE DE LOS COMITES

The climatic change that the planet is experiencing in the last decades has confronted the human being to extreme situations due to natural phenomena and the consequences derived from the behavior that it has had over some resources such as over exploitation of the water resource, the excessive contamination and the absence of actions aimed at its preservation, hence, this work establishes the objective of situating the state of resilience in the town of San Pedro Tultepec with respect to the shortage of drinking water. To fulfill the objective, we start with the qualitative method and field observation, coupled with the application of the semi-structured interview. The results obtained highlight the resilience of the locality due to the activities carried out, as well as the independence of the committees by the municipality. Among the findings are the ejidatarios that control the Cienegas de Chimaliapan. Although the locality is resilient to water scarcity, it has accelerated urbanization processes and loss of the Cienegas.
