- Habitar el agua: un acercamiento a la cuenca del Valle de México (Inhabit the water: an approach to the basin of the Valley of Mexico) was conceived to encourage residents of Santa María La Ribera to assume an active role in the use and preservation of water. The book records the transformation of the lacustrine landscape of the Valley of Mexico, which was gradually drained as a result of urban development."--InSite website (viewed 2020 October 14).
