Popis: In this chapter we will review the importance of water resources, the development of the Mexican public policy (within the framework of water management), the risk to which availability is subject (in the face of climate change scenarios), and how, in front of a differentiated approach by basins and ecosystems, can be a model, from actions of adaptation and conservation of the functionality of the basins, for the reduction of water vulnerability and a crosscutting element of public policies in Mexico, which allows to adapt to climate change and meet the international commitments that Mexico has signed.
