The city of Tepic is facing severe issues regarding water due to increasing pressure as the product of climate change. The disruption of the water cycle, the lack of proper water management, and the way governance is organized has hindered the implementation of sustainable water management solutions. The Mololoa micro-basin holds the potential to be a strategic starting point to encourage a more sustainable water management model for the city of Tepic. This research assesses the water governance of the city of Tepic to pinpoint barriers and drivers for the implementation of sustainable water management solutions. It evaluates the social vulnerability of the city through a GIS Analysis to understand the distribution of complications caused by water problems and makes a case for a Water Sensitive City Vision as a solution to alleviate the water related problems of the city.
