Water Resources Management in Situations of Water Scarcity: Hydrological and Climatic Insights from the Guadalupe Basin
The present study examines water resource management in the Guadalupe Basin, Baja California, a Mediterranean semi-arid region characterized by high climatic variability, limited surface water availability, and strong dependence on groundwater. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the climatic water balance and its implications for groundwater recharge. To this end, a Geographic Information System (GIS) framework was utilized, incorporating hydroclimatic, geomorphological, geological, and vegetation variables. The Thornthwaite–Mather method was employed to analyze the data. The results obtained demonstrate a marked east–west hydroclimatic asymmetry. The high-elevation regions of the Sierra de Juárez exhibit higher precipitation, lower evapotranspiration, and more favorable conditions for recharge, primarily due to infiltration through fractured bedrock and forested soils. Conversely, the lowland valley areas experience persistent water deficits, high evapotranspiration rates, and limited recharge, despite the presence of permeable alluvial sediments. Vegetation has been shown to play a critical role in the regulation of infiltration and soil moisture retention. The basin functions as a tripartite hydrological system, comprising recharge, transition, and storage-limited zones. These findings underscore the vulnerability of groundwater resources to climate change and anthropogenic pressure, underscoring the importance of safeguarding mountain recharge areas to ensure long-term regional water sustainability.

Disruptores ambientales y de calidad de agua en la Bahía de Ensenada, B. C. México
La Bahía de Todos Santos (BTS), en Ensenada, Baja California, es un ecosistema costero de gran valor ecológico y socioeconómico, sometido a crecientes presiones por urbanización, descargas residuales e intensificación turística. Este estudio evaluó la calidad del agua en ocho sitios representativos mediante diez campañas de muestreo con análisis fisicoquímicos y microbiológicos. Los resultados muestran sitios críticos de deterioro en El Gallo, El Mosquito y Cuatro Milpas, donde se detectaron concentraciones elevadas de coliformes fecales (>600 NMP/100 mL), nitrógeno total (>500 µM) y sólidos sedimentables (>100 mg/L). Estas condiciones exceden los límites establecidos por la normatividad mexicana (NOM-001-SEMARNAT-2021 y la NMX-AA-004-SCFI-2013), y reflejan procesos de eutrofización, reducción del oxígeno disuelto y riesgo de hipoxia. La configuración semicerrada y la batimetría somera de la BTS limitan la dispersión de contaminantes y favorecen su persistencia, lo que incrementa la vulnerabilidad ambiental y sanitaria. Un aspecto relevante es que este trabajo no incluyó la cuantificación de elementos potencialmente tóxicos ni micro plásticos, considerados únicamente como potenciales disruptores a partir de la literatura. Su análisis en estudios futuros permitirá fortalecer el diagnóstico integral del sistema costero. En conjunto, los hallazgos subrayan la necesidad de implementar programas de monitoreo permanente, modernizar la infraestructura de tratamiento de aguas residuales y actualizar el marco normativo mexicano para incluir contaminantes potencialmente tóxicos y emergentes, en concordancia con estándares internacionales. Este caso aporta evidencia clave sobre la degradación de la calidad del agua en bahías urbanizadas de zonas semiáridas.

Justicia Ambiental y Regulación de Emisiones BTEX en Estaciones de Servicio: Una Propuesta Normativa
Este estudio propone una reforma normativa para reducir los riesgos sanitarios derivados de la exposición a compuestos BTEX (benceno, tolueno, etilbenceno y xilenos) en estaciones de servicio en México. Mediante un análisis cualitativo-descriptivo, se revisaron 47 reglamentos municipales vigentes hasta 2024, seleccionados por criterios de accesibilidad, densidad urbana y representatividad geográfica. Los resultados revelan vacíos normativos críticos: ausencia de distancias mínimas obligatorias, falta de monitoreo ambiental, escasa consulta vecinal y baja exigencia de tecnologías de control como los sistemas de recuperación de vapores. Se compararon estos marcos con regulaciones internacionales (EPA, CONAMA, MITECO), destacando el rezago normativo mexicano. En respuesta, se propone una hoja de ruta con siete ejes clave: zonificación con perímetros de seguridad, evaluación ambiental regional, recuperación de vapores Fase II, monitoreo comunitario de BTEX, consulta vecinal certificada, restricciones por geología y planes de contingencia. La propuesta está fundamentada en principios de justicia ambiental, equidad intergeneracional y derecho constitucional a un medio ambiente sano. Su implementación busca fortalecer la gobernanza local, reducir la exposición de la población vulnerable y avanzar hacia una regulación ambiental coherente y basada en evidencia científica.

Diatom assemblages from different environments of the Acoculco Caldera associated to hydrothermal and anthropogenic activity
The use of diatoms as indicators of water quality has been studied worldwide; however, the use of diatoms as indicators of thermic anomalies has received less attention. The objective of this study is not only to provide a record on algal communities, but also to investigate the relationship between the diversity in diatom species and the physicochemical conditions of water. Evaluating its temporal variability in a caldera with low permeability and cold acid hydrothermal anomalies. Diatom assemblages were identified at 11 sites. Species composition was compared between seasons (dry and wet) in different environments, as streams, ponds and pools within the caldera. The physicochemical and environmental differences are very specific, which allowed the diatom identification from geothermal and anthropogenic sources without finding mixtures. The results show that the main diatom flora of the Acoculco caldera consists of 15 dominant species. Sulphite-rich acidic hydrothermal waters are characterized by the presence of Eunotia exigua, Eunotia bilunaris, and Pinnularia brauniana. In non-hydrothermal streams, Planothidium, Achnanthidium, and Humidophila species are the most common taxa. Other diatoms from acidic environments were Frustulia saxonica, Surirella, and Stenopterobia. The assemblages are clearly different from those of alkaline environments. Epithemia, Planothidium, and Ulnaria are present in the streams and are not associated with thermalism. Ordination of diatom assemblages showed that pH, conductivity, and nutrient concentrations, some of which are influenced by anthropogenic activities, were the main factors influencing the distribution of diatom composition.
