Presidential decree formalizes legal shield for Lake
Under a presidential decree put into effect last month, the distribution and exploitation of surface water resources throughout the vast Lerma-Chapala watershed will henceforth be managed under a formalized set of regulations that ostensibly provide a legal shield for Mexico’s largest lake.

Expo Ganadera, Chapala’s first-ever stock show, opens Saturday, April 26 for a ten-day run featuring exhibitions of horses, cattle and other farm animals, special entertainment events and plenty of family-oriented activity.
Imagine building a two-man canoe out of concrete, launching it in the waters Lake Chapala and successfully keeping it afloat while racing against 15 similar vessels weighing in at 300 to 350 kilograms each.
