Resumen
CHANGES IN WATER AVAILABILITY HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON THE SUSTAINABILITY AND MAINTENANCE OF AGRICULTURE, WITH WATER FOOTPRINT (WF) BEING A ROBUST METHODOLOGY TO ASSESS THESE TRANSFORMATIONS. THE GUADALUPE VALLEY IS ONE OF THE PLACES WITH THE HIGHEST AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION IN MEXICO. DESPITE ITS SEMI?ARID CLIMATIC CONDITIONS, IT PROVIDES HIGH?QUALITY CROPS THAT ARE WELL?POSITIONED IN THE WORLD. THE HISTORICAL TREND OF RAINFALL AND TEMPERATURES BETWEEN 1987 AND 2017 WAS ANALYZED TO IDENTIFY CLIMATIC PATTERNS IN THE TERRITORY. THROUGH THE CALCULATIONS OF THE WATER FOOTPRINT OF GRAPEVINE AND OLIVE CROPS, THE SENSITIVITY OF THE CROPS TO RECURRENT WATER DEFICIT AND THEIR ADAPTATION IN THEIR YIELDS TO DROUGHT EPISODES WAS IDENTIFIED.
