The high risk of flooding caused by recurring extreme events and the limited information on the availability of water resources in at the Culiacan basin led to the hiring of Creatividad y Tecnología by CONAGUA to assist basin managers in the improvement of their information systems of the water resources in order to optimize its response and its decision-making processes regarding integral water management in general and in the prevention of frequent flooding of the Culiacan Basin in particular.
If it is a successful experience, the Mexican government plans to implement a similar system nationwide. The project also includes the design of an automatic system or SCADA for monitoring the control points that allow the subsequent remote control of certain hydrological infrastructure elements of the basin through a Control Center.
