Competition for water and risk to water security Proyectos de agricultura protegida y uso del agua subterránea en el altiplano tamaulipeco. Competencia por el agua y riesgo para la seguridad hídrica Sánchez Munguía, Vicente Agua subterránea Semidesierto Agricultura protegida Altiplano central Groundwater Semi desert Protected agriculture Central highlands The objective of this work is analyze the process followed by the intensive groundwater use by agribusinesses in Tula, Tamaulipas, which in the form of protected agriculture and plantations with technical irrigation promoted by the government with development objectives for communities with high marginalization, have been installed as in other parts of the central highlands of Mexico, a semi-arid region, which could condition access to water for human consumption and compromise water security for the population. The work is based on a bibliographic review, field visits, interviews with local informants, application of questionnaires and online press review. It is concluded that the agribusiness model based on protected agriculture and plantations with technical irrigation, although highly efficient in the water use, when extractions intensify, it induces scarcity and puts access to water at risk for the population in their basic needs, while in its extractivist nature it displaces and subordinates the original owners of agrarian and water rights. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el proceso que ha seguido el uso intensivo del agua subterránea por agronegocios en Tula, Tamaulipas, los cuales en modo de agricultura protegida y plantaciones con riego tecnificado promovidos por el gobierno con objetivos de desarrollo de comunidades con alta marginación, se han instalado como en otras partes del altiplano central de México, una región semiárida, lo que podría condicionar el acceso al agua para el consumo humano y comprometer la seguridad hídrica para la población. El trabajo se basa en revisión bibliográfica, visitas de campo, entrevistas a informantes del lugar, aplicación de cuestionaros y revisión de prensa en línea. Se concluye que, el modelo de agronegocio basado en la agricultura protegida y las plantaciones con riego tecnificado, aunque altamente eficientes en el uso del agua, cuando se intensifican las extracciones induce a la escasez y pone en riesgo el acceso al agua para la población en sus necesidades básicas, al mismo tiempo que en su carácter extractivista desplaza y subordina a los propietarios originarios de los derechos agrarios y del agua.
