Abstract
Climate change is an issue that has consequences all over the world. One of the most severe is the water scarcity that is causing migrations, loss of biodiversity, illness, increases in mortality, food availability, economic decline, social and political conflicts. Underdeveloped countries are more likely to suffer the consequences of this issue, particularly in Latin America. The present text aims to shine a light on water shortage in Mexico, taking as a case study a community located in the south of Mexico City, named San Gregorio Atlapulco, where myths and traditions are combined to protect this vital resource. Social conflict, political confrontation and State repression are part of the Mexican landscape caused by water shortage.
