Abstract
This article analyzes the accumulation of water rights in the energy-mining sector in Mexico, from the theoretical perspective of water justice. This essay highlights the provisions derived from the 2013 energy constitutional reform and its connection with community water use. It is explained that the oligopolistic concentration of water rights is associated with selective appropriation and water dispossession on socially owned lands. It is discussed that the legal order has historically been oriented to favor the transfer of water concessions towards economically profitable uses. It is concluded that extractivism, as a hegemonic paradigm, has resulted in the emergence of socio-environmental conflicts and the establishment of water injustices.
