A total 36 peer-reviewed modeling efforts were identified Mexico until July 2021 that aimed support decision-making processes. Primarily, three processes supported: (53 %), availability and demand diagnosis (36 conflict resolution (11 %). Most case studies addressed are within arid regions facing most significant country. Successful practices included stakeholder outreach, collaborative modeling, reliable, timely available information.
