With more than 14 years of existence, the Water Center for Latin America and the Caribbean emerged as a strategic alliance of the Tecnológico de Monterrey, FEMSA Foundation and the Inter-American Development Bank. The Water Center has positioned itself as a unique ecosystem at Tecnológico de Monterrey dedicated to applied research, technological development, development of innovation projects, detailed research and engineering, human capital training, and the design of comprehensive solutions in issues of management and sustainable use of water in the face of a challenging scenario of climate change in Latin America and the Caribbean.

It has several areas of specialization:

  • Safety in drinking water and sanitation
  • Hydrological risks and environmental impact
  • Water quality and ecosystems
  • Water management and governance
  • Water, energy and food nexus 
  • Information and knowledge systems

From these fields of work activities are carried out such as:

  • Hydrological and water quality studies for the development of projects
  • Characterizations of the resource for the planning of engineering works
  • Watershed and aquifer management
  • Hydrological design of dams and other structures
  • Flood protection and control (urban and rural areas)
  • Integrated water balances
  • Analysis of vulnerability to climate change, technological developments and pollutant removal techniques
  • Others
