Los humedales artificiales son sistemas socio-ecológicos que proporcionan beneficios ambientales, sociales y económicos a los grupos humanos que los rodean. Los humedales se componen de elementos naturales como el agua, la vegetación, el suelo, entre otros. Además, de elementos humanos como la fuerza de trabajo humano, para su mantenimiento, la organización social, necesaria para el aprovechamiento de los beneficios, y de reglas de operación sobre el uso y manejo del agua. En este artículo los autores analizamos el caso de un humedal artificial localizado en una comunidad de origen indígena del centro de México. Este humedal existe desde hace dos décadas y fue construido por iniciativa de un grupo de indígenas mazahuas y una fundación orientada al mejoramiento de las sociedades vulnerables. Para realizar la investigación que sustenta este artículo se utilizó una metodología cualitativa, apoyada en la técnica de la entrevista. Los resultados de la investigación indican que la relación entre la fundación y la comunidad indígena fue exitosa, debido a que la creación y operación del humedal artificial es un ejemplo de la confianza, reciprocidad e interés por alcanzar un desarrollo local.
Artificial wetlands are socio-ecological systems that provide environmental, social and economic benefits to the human groups that surround them. Wetlands are composed of natural elements such as water, vegetation, soil, and others. Also, wetlands are composed of human elements, such as, the work force for their maintenance, the social organization necessary to take advantage of the benefits as well as the rules of operation on the use and management of water. In this article, the authors analyze the case of an artificial wetland located in an indigenous community in central Mexico. This wetland has existed for two decades and was built by the initiative of a group of indigenous Mazahuas and a foundation aimed at the improvement of vulnerable societies. To conduct the research that supports this article, a qualitative methodology was used, which was based on the interview technique. The results of the research indicate that the relationship between the foundation and the indigenous community was successful, because the creation and operation of the artificial wetland is the result of trust, reciprocity and interest between both actors to achieve local development.
