This study was conducted with two objectives: determining the productive sectors that are vulnerable to possible limitations in the availability of groundwater and estimating a shadow price that reflects the importance of the resource in the regional economic system. In order to achieve these goals, we estimated value added water indices and water shadow prices that are based on the regional input-output table (RIOT) 2003. The results indicate that agriculture, livestock, food, electrical and power generation products are vulnerable, while trade and services are less not vulnerable. Regarding the shadow, price yields a value of $ 4 to $ 14.96 pesos per m3 for general use and $ 28 to $ 104.71 for industrial and commercial use.
