HERNANDEZ FUENTES, Yuritzi y BETANCOURT MENDIETA, Alexander. Water Supply: Management of Water Sources in the City of San Luis Potosí (México), 1831-1887. Historelo.rev.hist.reg.local [online]. 2015, vol.7, n.14, pp.60-98. ISSN 2145-132X. https://doi.org/10.15446/historelo.v7n14.45382.
This paper proposes an approach about the management of water sources, hydraulic systems and the measures taken by the city government of San Luis Potosí (México) concerning the need of water supply during the years 1831 to 1886. This paper examines two important projects on water management in the city: the aqueduct of La Cañada del Lobo and the policies taken by the authorities on waterways through La Corriente. Both projects faced several problems, including the outbreak of illnesses associated with bodies of water and shortage of liquid flow through the aqueduct of La Cañada del Lobo.
