Producción agrícola y cambio climático en el Distrito de Riego 003 Tula, Hidalgo, México

The intensification of water consumption has caused the degradation of the main water ecosystems. The objective was to describe the main crops that are harvested in the Irrigation District 003 Tula, Hidalgo, Mexico, and how the use of wastewater contributes to agricultural production and reduce the effects of climate change. The main crops that were harvested were forage oats in the autumn-winter cycle, grain corn in spring-summer and alfalfa in perennial crops. These crops slightly tolerate soil salinity and do not have restrictions regarding water quality, as is the case with some vegetables. Despite the conditions of water contamination, the region of Irrigation District 003 Tula is the agricultural engine, the main producer of grains in the State of Hidalgo, which represents contributing to the mitigation of climate change by saving water, fertilizer savings, less gas emissions, greater food security and a source of income for the families of small producers.
