Hidrogeóloga-Ingeniera Ambiental, especializada en los sistemas de flujo subterráneos regionales del ciclo hidrológico, aplicado para el análisis de impactos ambientales acumulativos y sinérgicos en sistemas hidrológicos, estudios de impacto ambiental para Políticas, Planes y Proyectos para fuentes de abastecimiento de agua, gestión del agua municipal e industrial. Desde hace una década se ha especializado en la Teoría Tothiana para la evaluación de los sistemas de flujo subterráneos regionales del ciclo del agua, como consultora en planeación hidrológica y especialista en generación y análisis de data hidrogeoquímica para evaluación de fuentes de abastecimiento y ordenamiento ecológico territorial.

Con quince años de experiencia en el desarrollo de evaluaciones de impacto socioambiental para Programas y Proyectos de gestión integral del agua en cuencas hidrogeológicas, proyectos hidroeléctricos y urbanos, principalmente.
Supervisors: José Joel Carrillo Rivera

Using Tóth’s theory of groundwater flow systems, surface indicators in Mexico were analyzed to understand the systemic connection between groundwater and the geological framework, relief, soil, water bodies, vegetation, and climate. Recharge and discharge zones of regional groundwater flow systems were identified from evidence on the ground surface. A systematic hydrogeological analysis was made of regional surface indicators, published in official, freely accessible cartographic information at scales of 1:250,000 and 1:1,000,000. From this analysis, six maps of Mexico were generated, titled “Permanent water on the surface”, “Groundwater depth”, “Hydrogeological association of soils”, “Hydrogeological association of vegetation and land use”, “Hydrogeological association of topoforms”, and “Superficial evidence of the presence of groundwater flow systems”...

Using Tóth's theory of groundwater flow systems, surface indicators in Mexico were analyzed to understand the systemic connection between groundwater and the geological framework, relief, soil, water bodies, vegetation, and climate. Recharge and discharge zones of regional groundwater flow systems were identified from evidence on the ground surface. A systematic hydrogeological analysis was made of regional surface indicators, published in official, freely accessible cartographic information at scales of 1:250,000 and 1:1,000,000. From this analysis, six maps of Mexico were generated, titled "Permanent water on the surface", "Groundwater depth", "Hydrogeological association of soils", "Hydrogeological association of vegetation and land use", "Hydrogeological association of topoforms", and "Superficial evidence of the presence of groundwater flow systems". Mexico's hydrogeological features were produced. The results show that 30% of Mexico is considered to be discharge zones of groundwater flow systems (regional, intermediate, and recharge). Natural recharge processes occur naturally in 57% of the country. This work is the first holistic analysis of groundwater in Mexico carried out at a national-regional scale using only the official information available to the public. These results can be used as the basis for more detailed studies on groundwater and its interaction with the environment, as well as for the development of integrative planning tools to ensure the sustainability of ecosystems and satisfy human needs.
