Abstract

The paper aims to expose some of the trends of climate change in the upper basin of Santiago river. Through the theoretical framework of the „flying rivers”, concept developed by British scientist Gerard Moss, we propose a general interpretation of the relationship between climate change, rainfall, the volume of Lake Chapala and agricultural performance in the case of grain crop
