Abstract
LUNA-NEMECIO, Josemanuel. Territorial Footprint of Hydroextractivism in Mexico: Territorial and Structural Genetic Analysis of the Socio-Environmental Conflict due to the Morelos Integral Project. Territ. [online]. 2023, n.49, pp.1-. Epub Jan 11, 2024. ISSN 0123-8418. https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/territorios/a.10940.
Extractivist practices have created environmental and health risks in Mexico. This research addressed the socio-environmental conflict generated by the mega-infrastructure of the Morelos Integral Project (MIP). The research carried out an exploratory, genetic-structural, and historical territorial study supported by primary and secondary sources of information. The results obtained are a historical and chronological reconstruction of the social production of the water conflict in Morelos generated by hydro extractivist practices linked to the MIP, identification of the current and latent socio-environmental effects of socio-economic and political-administrative activities and processes due to intensive water extraction in Morelos. In addition, the actors and the power relations intertwined within the framework of the MIP were identified. In conclusion, the study demonstrated how the intensive extraction and contamination of the water resources of Morelos characterize the MIP.
