| Descripción: | The Apatlaco is considered one of the most polluted sub-basins in Mexico. Consequently, a federal lawsuit has been filed since 2016 against the 11 municipalities that comprise the sub-basin by “Morelos Inhabitants”, which requires detecting and stopping any type of irregular untreated wastewater discharge into surface water bodies. The objective of this paper is to analyze the incidence of the logic of contamination with untreated wastewater in the sub-basin of the Apatlaco River, Morelos, Mexico that threatens food security due to the irrigation of its surrounding agricultural areas. Wastewater conditions were analyzed based on a territorial unit (Cuernavaca), including the identification and calculation of discharge points distributed by land use. Based on the territorial unit, the residual effluent generated by the 11 municipalities that comprise the sub-basin was calculated, considering the expenditure per capita, inhabitants per municipalities, the percentage with respect to the total state population and the one in the sub-basin. Finally, the Apatlaco agricultural area and current lines were identified to determine the susceptibility of the use of wastewater in food production. |
