This article analyzes the effects of the Agrarian Law of 1915, which created the ejido in Mexico, in irrigation systems built by towns and farms. Although that law did not order the provision of water, the ejidatarios made use of it; this situation generated conflicts between users. The discussion is addressed through the study of the productive unit San Servando Tlahuelilpan, in the southwest of the state of Hidalgo, one of the largest large estates in the region. The period studied is centered between 1918 and 1946. The investigation is based on historical documents and presidential resolutions with which ejidos were granted. It is concluded that the agrarian reform opened the door to demands from those affected not only with the expropriation of land but also with the appropriation of water and hydraulic works by ejidatarios.

Palabras clave : Land Reform; Haciendas; Social property; Water; Mexico.
