description This article aims to analyze some basic criteria for a sustainable use of water in an international watershed shared by Mexico and the United States. The study area comprises the region of Ambos Nogales, which is located inside the Upper Santa Cruz River Basin. This portion of the watershed represents the main ecosystem and the main source of water for urban and rural populations located in this region. Following criteria of sustainability the authors revise and adapt to the case of Ambos Nogales, a set of guidelines proposed by the Pacific Institute for Studies in Development, Environment, and Security. These guidelines include the following elements: basic water requirements needed to maintain quality of life in the population and the health of ecosystems; water quality that meets certain minimum standards; human actions and their impact on long-term renewability of freshwater stocks and flows; collection of data concerning water resources, use and quality of water; institutional mechanisms to prevent and resolve conflicts; and a democratic process of water-planning and decision-making. These twin cities have a long history of cooperation and conflict linked to water resources, which makes available enough information to create a diagnostic about the water management inside a binational arena, and allowing to explore possibilities for a better water resources management under a sustainable regime and from an international perspective. Keywords: Sustainability, binational water management, ambos Nogales region.

Keywords: Sustainability, binational water management, ambos Nogales region. En este artículo se analizan algunos criterios básicos para el uso sustentable del agua en una cuenca internacional localizada en la frontera de México con los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica. El área de estudio comprende la región conformada por las ciudades de Nogales, Sonora y Nogales, Arizona y conocida como Ambos Nogales y localizada dentro de la cuenca alta del Río Santa Cruz. Esta subcuenca representa el principal ecosistema y la principal fuente de agua para la subsistencia de las poblaciones rurales y urbanas de ambos países. En este estudio se retoman algunos principios básicos de sustentabilidad desarrollados por el Pacific Institute for Studies in Development, Environment, and Security y adaptados pare el caso de Ambos Nogales. En general, estos criterios comprenden los siguientes elementos: requerimientos básicos para sostener la calidad de vida de los pobladores y la salud de los ecosistemas; calidad del agua que reúna estándares mínimos en calidad y cantidad; las acciones de la humanidad y sus impactos en la tasa de renovabilidad; colección de datos del recurso agua; procesos democráticos en la planeación y en la toma de decisiones y por último los mecanismos institucionales para la resolución de conflictos. Ambos Nogales cuentan con una larga historia de cooperación y conflicto ligadas al uso y manejo del agua. Este hecho hace posible el contar con suficiente información para en primera instancia generar un diagnóstico sobre el manejo del recurso agua en una arena binacional, permitiendo explorar las posibilidades para un mejor manejo del agua bajo un régimen sustentable y desde una perspectiva internacional.  Universidad Autónoma de Baja California 2003-01-01 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Diagnosis, historical research Diagnóstico, investigación histórica application/pdf text/html https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/258 10.21670/ref.2003.07.a02 Estudios Fronterizos Revista; Vol. 4 No. 7 (2003); 35-60 Estudios Fronterizos; Vol. 4 Núm. 7 (2003); 35-60 2395-9134 0187-6961 eng https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/258/412 https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/258/798 Derechos de autor 2014 Estudios Fronterizos Revista de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/
