		The Rio Texcoco watershed is located within the county of Chapingo in the central valley of Mexico; approximately 40 km to the northeast of Mexico City.
		The city of Texcoco with a population of approximately 70,000 people and towns adjacent to this population centre are growing rapidly and services such as potable water supply, sewage treatment and garbage removal are often inadequate or non-existent.
		Analyses of water from the Rio Texcoco conducted in 1998 and 1999 as part of a scoping study by INSTRUCT researchers in Mexico indicated that nitrates, phosphates and other nutrients are present in water from all parts of the Rio Texcoco at concentrations that exceed Canadian water quality guidelines by 1-2 orders of magnitude.

		It has been argued that without the economic support of the airport sponsors, the ecological rescue of the area would not be affordable and the migratory paths of some endangered species of birds would be disrupted by the collapse of the water-lands.

		Texcoco won a months-long battle against Tizayuca, a city in Hidalgo state about 50 miles (80 kms) north of the capital.
		Ceresola said the Texcoco plan was about 40 percent cheaper and more technically feasible than the Tizayuca project, which would have kept the existing airport open for domestic flights.
		Other city officials said the Texcoco airport would pave an area that is crucial to regulating floodwaters in the city and would conflict with migrating birds that stop at the salty, polluted waters of nearby lakes.

		There certainly are similarities. The airport in Texcoco was to be the most ambitious “megaproject” of Vicente Fox’s administration, similar to the infrastructure construction on the drawing board for the PPP’s 28 megaprojects.
		Just as the expropriation of lands in Texcoco was done without government consultation of the small landowners, there is also a lack of information on PPP projects, particularly regarding details such as the location of roads, high-voltage electrical lines, hydroelectric dams, and other data.
		Apart from this political clarity, Texcoco residents reacted immediately to the presidential decree. The same day the expropriation was announced, the ejidatarios mobilized and blocked the Texcoco-Lechería highway as a sign of protest, an act that would be repeated often in the coming months.

		Furthermore, that the site is arrayed along a ridge top, accessible through narrow valleys, and situated on the flanks of the sierra suggests that Texcoco was built with defense in mind, although there is no reason to assume that this was the only reason for its placement on the landscape.
		If Texcoco was contemporary with dynastic Piedras Negras, it is almost certainly a secondary political center within the political hierarchy of the kingdom.
		If this is the case, Texcoco may have been a primary center in a fractured political landscape.

		Lake Texcoco lay in the center and received water from Lake Xaltocan in the north and Lake Xochimilco in the south.
		Accordingly, Lake Texcoco, as "the ultimate destination of all drainage, was extremely saline." Xochimilco was about nine feet (three meters) higher than Texcoco and contained the freshest water, especially along its southern shore, which contained numerous springs.
		The water in Lake Texcoco was always too saline to be potable, and the constant disturbance of the lake's silt-laden bottom made it exceedingly turbid for other domestic uses.
