Abstract

This project presents the conceptual framework of a methodology on the implementation of a geographic information system (GIS) for updating user data of Mexican waters located in the aquifers of the State of Sonora, Mexico. This GIS is based on the analysis of content for the process of updating user data owners of water, in order to present some elements related to establishing competitive advantages in organizations that need to improve the updating of user data through a S.I.G.

The solutions to problems related to water depend on many factors, among which are the institutions that administer it, the processes through which water is managed, socio-political conditions, development and management practices and frameworks. existing legal In this situation, innovative solutions, such as recharge of groundwater, changes in the structure of water rates, institutional analysis and data management techniques such as GIS are gaining importance. The system that is presented, has been developed in the National Water Commission (CONAGUA) where it was necessary to determine the situation of the aquifers of the State of Sonora, Mexico, to later propose a development methodology consisting of the following elements: 1) Process of application of the Survey, which consists of preparation and application of the survey and 2) Implementation of the GIS, which is related to control mechanisms and validation of the information and the design of the GIS. The structure of the document presents in the first instance the conceptual aspects that are observed in the introduction and later, all the elements related to the system are described.
