The 7 main rivers of Morelos

1- Río Amacuzac

It is born in the mountain of the Nevado de Toluca volcano and becomes a tributary of the Balsas river. The melting process also gives rise to the rivers Chontalcoatlán and San Jerónimo.

2- Río Cuautla

It is born in the region of Pazulco, in the area of ​​ecological protection Los Sabinos, Santa Rosa and San Cristóbal, and brings water to the towns of Apatlaco. It is one of the most beautiful rivers in the region, thanks to the contrast of its waters with the natural green landscape.

3- Río Yautepec

Itzamatitlán is the birthplace of the Yautepec River. After a long journey, it joins the Amacuzac River, the largest in Morelos. The Yautepec River receives the waters of the Tlayacapan and Totolapan streams. Bordering its channel is the Las Estacas Aquatic Natural Park.

4- Río Tembembe

Once it has passed through the state of Mexico, the Tembembe River crosses the state of Morelos, passing through the municipalities of Cuernavaca, Miacatlan and Mazatepec. In its southern direction it joins the Chalma River in Puente Ixtla and serves as a tributary to the El Rodeo lagoon.

5- Río Salado

Although it is important for its extension, many consider it a stream given its low flow. It is located very close to Cajones, Campo Nuevo and Miahuatlán.

6- Río El Sabino

The El Sabino river is located in the region of Los Sabinos, Río Verde and Araucaria. Its waters create a very natural space because of the abundant vegetation that accompanies its channel.

7- Río Chalma

He was born in the Chalma sanctuary and from there he got his name. It is a large river and has several tributaries known as "apantles".

hidrografia

In Morelos there are intermittent river currents in the basin of the Balsas River; the Amacuzac River, tributary of the same basin, originates in the foothills of the Nevado de Toluca and collects the flow of the Calcáceo and Zempoala rivers, in the limits with the State of Mexico.

Geography, climate and nature

The state is located in the center of the country and has an area of 4,893 km², accounting for 0.25% of Mexico's total territory. It is the second smallest state after Tlaxcala. It borders with the Federal District of Mexico City, the State of Mexico, Guerrero and Puebla. The state's capital is Cuernavaca. It was the largest city of the Tlahuicas and originally called Cuauhnahuac, but the Spanish could not pronounce this and modified it to the current name. This city is only 90 km south of Mexico City and due to its gentle climate is referred to as "The City of the Eternal Spring."

Morelos, most of which is between 1,000 and 3,300 meters (2,900 – 9,800 feet) above sea level, has a very diverse topography: 42% is mountainous, 16% hilly land, and 42% flat terrain. The highest altitudes are found near the state's border with Mexico City, and the lowest are found in the Huaxtla region. The state straddles two main geographic formations, the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt in the north and east and the Sierra Madre del Sur, which stretches south and west from Cuernavaca and Jiutepec. The majestic mountain peaks of the Sierra Ajusco in the north of the state divide Morelos from the neighboring Valley of Mexico.

The state is in the highest part of the Balsas River basin, which ends in the north in the areas bounded by the Sierra Ajusco-Chichinautzin and the Popocatépetl volcano. From this point south, the state gradually slopes downward, interrupted by the Tlaltizapan and Yautepec mountains in the center of the state and the Huautla mountains in the south. There are no major rivers here but a large number of small rivers and streams which all eventually feed into the Balsas River.

The climate and vegetation varies from alpine meadows in the highest elevations near Popocatepetl to lowland rainforest in the south. Roughly 70% of the state has a humid and relatively warm climate, especially in the highly populated areas of Cuernavaca, Tepotzlán, Oaxtepec and Yautepec. Average temperature is approximately 25 °C (77 °F) year round, with a rainy season from May until september.

The climates can be further subdivided: hot and semihumid; semihot and semihumid; temperate and semihumid; semicold and semihumid; and cold. The hot and semihumid climate covers about 78% of the state's territory, with an average temperature of 22C, with rains in the summer. This area presents mostly subtropical rainforest type vegetation. The semihot and semihumid climate can be found in a strip in the north of the state and accounts for 13% of the territory. Average temperature varies between 18 degrees and 22 degrees Celsius, with rains in the summer and a dry season in the winter. A temperate and semihumid climate covers about 10% of the territory and is found in the north of the state around the municipalities of Huitzilac, Tlanepantla, Totolapan, Tetela del Volcán and parts of Cuernavaca, Tepoztlan, Ocuituco, Tlayacapan and Miacatlán. This area has an average temperature of between 10 and 15 degrees Celsius, with mixed forests of pine and holm oak. A semicold and semihumid climate accounts for only 2% of the territory and found along the borders of the Federal District, Mexico State and Puebla. This area has pine forests and some alpine meadows. The coldest climate is found in the upper parts of Popocatepetl that belong to the state. Average temperature here is less than 5 degrees Celsius with frequent freezes. Most of the vegetation is alpine meadow or moss.

The natural resources of the state have been taken advantage of for centuries and have suffered changes as a consequence, especially in landscapes, water sources, flora and fauna. This change accelerates as the population grows.The state has one major national park called the Lagunas de Zempoala. It is one of Mexico's largest national parks, located on the southern flank of the Sierra Madre mountains. The park had five mountain-fed lakes and abundant wildlife when the park was established in 1937. This park is being stressed due to illegal logging, with subsequent soil erosion and water from its last dark blue lake to drainage. Much of this drainage is to provide water to Cuernavaca, whose population uses 785 liters of water per day per person, twice that of Mexico City. The park's area has shrunk from 55,000 acres (220 km²) to 12,500.

Much of the state's ecological woes stem from the housing explosion, which is mostly centered in the capital of Cuernavaca, but it is a problem in places such as Cuautla as well. Groups such as the Frente de Pueblos en Defensa de la Tierra y el Agua and Guardianes de los Àrboles have criticized the government for allowing city areas to grow with insufficient planning and control. They also claim that it is hurting much of the state's ecosystem and water supply.
