Les parties politiques face au devenir du système hydraulique de la zone métropolitaine de la ville de Mexico - Paris : ENA, avril/juin 2000
Management of Mexico City's hydraulic system implies taking into account simultaneously both short-term needs and the necessity of sustainable development. These two objectives are, however, contradictory. Significant areas of the federal district of Mexico are only partially, or not at all, connected to the water and sanitation networks. Yet, at the same time, overuse of water resources has extremely serious consequences. Political parties have traditionaly privileged short-term consideration, especially at election time. They do, however, have an important role to play through the education of their supporters and personnel and through the refletions they may bring to bear upon debates concerning urban development in the decades to come
