Resumen
Controlar el agua, desde su captación, almacenamiento y distribución, ha sido históricamente uno de los mayores logros de la humanidad para establecerse en un lugar. Además, si el territorio era de naturaleza desértica, este logro se convertía en una hazaña. El vínculo que se ha creado entre Europa y América desde el siglo XV y en el caso de los territorios que constituyeron la Nueva España desde el siglo XVI permitió el vertido de experiencias que se sumaron a las ancestrales prácticas prehispánicas. Controlling water, from its collection, storage and distribution, has historically been one of the greatest achievements of humankind in order to settle in a place. Furthermore, if the territory was of a desert-like nature, this accomplishment turned into a feat. The bond that has been created between Europe and America since the fifteenth century and in the case of the territories that constituted New Spain since the sixteenth century enabled the pouring of experiences that were added to the ancestral pre-Hispanic practices.
