Track: Water Resources
Author(s): Eusebio Ventura, Raul Pineda, Valentino Sorani, Fernando Valdez, Miguel Domínguez

In agreement with policies for rural development the National Program of Micro Watersheds (NPMW) was created in Mexico at the Federal level by the current administration. The NPMW uses the small watershed for the integrated management of natural resources. For each watershed, the basic instrument is a management and conservation plan known as Plan Rector de Producción y Conservación (PRPC) or Rector Plan for Production and Conservation. However, each PRPC requires the generation of the Micro Watershed National Map for the Mexican Republic (MWNM-MR), and a GIS-based consultation management system. The objective of this paper is to present the automated methodology for the collaboration of the MWNM-MR and the GIS-based consultation management system (GCMS). The GCMS was developed in ArcView and Avenue and it contains a national database of micro watersheds.
