Abstract

This article aims at analyzing two river basin councils that operate in the state of Sonora, Mexico: High Northwest Basin Council and Mayo River Basin Council. Based on international experience related to river basin organizations, an analytical framework is presented to analyze the implementation of Integrated Water Resources Management in river basin councils. The analysis has three key dimensions: the structure of the river basin councils, its internal functioning, and the practical results of problem and conflict solving in the basins. The results revealed that the two river basin councils have structural and operational limitations, which constrain their performance and reduce their impact and achievements when implementing the Integrated Water Resources Management principles.
