Abstract

Mexican shores have about 130 lagoon systems. The main economical activities in these systems are relate to the shrimp fisheries. Such activities have been suffered from an improper watershed management, that have resulted, among others, in an increase in the sediment rate within the lagoons. As a point to start in watershed mangement studies, is the knowledgement of the erosion-sedimentation processes within the basin and the lagoon. Such knowledgement is here presented for the Sontecomapan system. The rate of erosion within watershed was estimated using the Universe Equation, while the sedimentation in the lagoon was estimated by field measurements.
