          Abstract

          El artículo propone la necesidad del análisis de la relación entre la tierra y el agua, como método indispensable para comprender el desarrollo del Valle de Mexicali. Analiza el factor de que el río forme parte de una cuenca internacional y las implicaciones que tuvo la modificación paulatina de la corriente. Demuestra que la discusión centrada en la tierra, si bien importante y de aportaciones significativas, está lejos de explicar la problemática de la región, ya que el agua es un factor de peso social, económico y político, que hasta el momento ha sido poco analizado en los textos sobre historia de la región.

          Translated abstract

          This article addresses the need to analyze the relationship between land and water as an indispensable method to understand the development of the Mexicali Valley. It considers the fact that the river belongs to an international basin and also the implications of the gradual modification of its current overtime. It demonstrates that discussions centered in land, if important and significant, are far from fully explaining the problems of the region, since the water factor has a social, economic and political importance that has not been studied until this moment in regional historical texts.
