There are seven main rivers and numerous streams whose waters run downhill through gravity from our legendary Oyamel fir forests and provide the precious liquid to the huge water system that meets the demand of the largest cities and industries in central México. They also meet the demand for potable water in the towns and villages located right at the bottom of these mountains such as Angangueo. Angangueo was the first town to install the most sophisticated potable water network in the region nearly ninety years ago.
Our delicious, fresh water concentrates first in a huge collector tank built high up in the middle of one of our most dense forests known as “Rancho Verde” between the sanctuaries of “Sierra Chincua” and “El Rosario”. It was constructed by a committee of local citizens of Angangueo.
The old, large tank is a basic but effective filter-leveled structure consisting of a stone bed first, a sand bed next and finally a coal bed. This was a clever, natural filtering design and for decades, thousands of inhabitants in town relied on the potable water that it provided. Decades later our Health Ministry declared that a more strict hygiene protocol was required, as the local population grew and disease outbreaks became more widespread.

Tenemos siete ríos principales y numerosos arroyos o escurrideros cuyas aguas bajan por gravedad de nuestros legendario bosques de árboles de Oyamel y abastecen del precioso líquido al enorme complejo que cubre la demanda de las ciudades y la industria más grande del centro de México. Estos escurrideros también abastecen la necesidad de agua potable a pueblos y comunidades localizados al pie de estas montañas, como es el caso del pueblo de Angangueo, el pueblo que instaló la primera red de agua potable en la región hace casi noventa años.
Nuestra fresca y deliciosa agua se concentra primero en un gran tanque recolector que fué construído en uno de nuestros bosques más densos conocido como “Rancho Verde”, entre los santuarios del “Sierra Chincua” y “El Rosario”. Este fué construído por residentes locales de Angangueo.
Este viejo y gran tanque es una estructura de filtros escalonados que consiste primero en una cama de piedra, luego en una cama de arena y por último, en una cama de carbón. Este fué un diseño inteligente y a la vez natural en el que por décadas, los habitantes de la población confiaron en agua potable que éste les proveía. Décadas después nuestro Ministerio de Salud declaró que se requerían protocolos más estrictos de salubridad, puesto que la población crecía y algunas enfermedades tendían a expanderse en la población.
