Resumen:
Advances have been made in water resource investigation due to the
implementation of mathematical models, the development of theoretical
frameworks, and the evaluation of sustainability indices. Together, they
improve and make integrated water resource management more efficient. In
this paper, in the study area of the Duero River Basin, located in
Michoacan, Mexico, we schematize a series of numerical indices of the
Watershed Governance Prism to determine the quantitative status of water
governance in a watershed. The results, presented as axes, perspectives,
and prisms in the Axis Index, Water Governance Index, and Watershed
Governance Prism Index, provide the conclusion that it is possible to
establish and evaluate the Watershed Governance Prism Index using our
numerical implementation of the Watershed Governance Prism theoretical
framework. Thus, it is possible to define a quantitative status and
evoke how water governance is being designed and implemented in a
watershed.
