Abstract

The difficulty of water constitutes one of the challenges of the 21st century. Nearly 1.2 billion people, almost one fifth of the planet, live in areas of physical scarcity of this resource, while 500 million people are going to this situation each time. In Mexico, 13 of the 32 states of the Republic have more than 80 percent of their territory with drought, due to this water problem suffered by certain regions, placing Mexico in 24th place out of 164 countries in the world with this problem.  Water scarcity has strongly impacted the community of Huapango Guanajuato, a community of approximately 626 people, where sometimes drinking water is scarce for periods of a day to a week, to reduce this problem and to meet the basic needs of the people a rainwater harvesting system is proposed, where the largest amount of water is collected through the main streets, taking it to a point where it converges and storing it in a cistern of approximately 5,000 m3, making this project a viable proposal to meet the basic water needs of the people of the community of Huapango.
