WATER

Wheter it is by natural or through irrigation systems, water is essential to the growth of crops. In agriculture and commercial livestock breeding, water is provided by irrigation systems, for which dams are built wiht the purpose of controlling the direction and the auqntity of water destined to agricultural and fodder (forraje) crops.

3.-

CLIMATE

The CLIMATE AND TEMPERATURE have big influence in the kind of crops that are grown. There are certain croips which reach their maximum development only in warm and rainy weathers, such as coffee, sugar cane, tobacco, cocoa trees.

The climate is one of the factors that particularly influences on the type of vegetation, and topography influences on the type of climate and soil as well.

 

In Mexico, the characteristics of the natural elements of the geographical space are so diverse, that there is a wide variety of soils, cliamtes and vegetation; that means that there is a wide variety of natural resources that are exploited for agriculture, livestock breeding, fishing and forestry exploitation.
