Especially, after using Jalisco’s Decree Number 696 from 19 September, 1895, and Oaxaca’s Water Use and Exploitation Act from 28 January, 1905. Both judicial instruments were a legal strategy used by states, local governments and municipalities to deal with federal government attempts to control water licensing and jurisdiction across the Mexican territory. Therefore, we emphasize the differences between actions taken by state and local governments and a national process looking forward to nationalize and control water flows in the states.</em></p> ER -
