DOIAbstract
A gravimetric analyse over the Tulum Valley was made. This data was used to reveal the tectonic structures in the Valley. Gravity data was processed using upward continuation and vertical derivative filters and all the results were compared with drainage systems and groundwater maps of the area. Both groundwater and surface-water are highly demanded resources due to theirscarcity. The drainage network and groundwater are influenced by tectonic structures in the Tulum valley. In the piedmont of the Sierra Chica de Zonda the broom-shaped river pattern correspond to Quaternary faults. While in the central Tulum Valley, the depocenter basin is a water recipient, the groundwater table permanently close to the surface and they are considered disc...
