James O. Leckie Environmental Engineering and Science Program,
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Stanford
University, Stanford, California 94305-4020, USA Nearly 10 years
have passed since the beginning of the systematic studies of the
Lerma-Chapala Basin coordinated by the Instituto Mexicano de
Tecnologia del Agua. Although many public and private institutions,
universities and research centers have conducted studies on the
Lerma Chapala Basin over the last two decades, the need for a
comprehensive summary of the findings of those studies has become
increasingly obvious and important for this critical water
resource. The Lerma-Chapala Basin is located in the central part of
Mexico, and partly occupies five states. The watershed comprises
the Lerma river and Lake Chapala. With a length of over 700 km, the
tributary watershed covers 2 approximately 54,000 km . The basin
accounts for more than one-third of the country's economic
activity, one-fifth of all commerce and one-eighth of the nation's
agricultural land. The watershed receives 3% of the country's total
rainfall, less than 1 % of the runoff, and accounts for 13% of the
total groundwater.
