Abstract
The San Francisco River sub-basin has water deficit in circumstances of population growth, insufficient sanitation, and poor quality access roads. This research seeks to determine the valuation of the water usage employing a demand function of this resource in a productive approach and to establish the existing relation between the economic component and the hydric availability, since the water deficit has become one of the main arguments for environmental sustainability. It was concluded that the zone generates production equivalent to 2.2 million dollars per year, having a water demand of 59 million m3/year, this means 0.04 cents for each cubic meter of water on site. This information was used to elaborate key strategies and to strengthen the water governance in the San Francisco River sub-basin.
