Abstract
This research aims to find the classification of drinking water and sanitation agencies operators(OOSAPyS), of five cities with more than fifty thousand inhabitants in Sinaloa(in Mexico). It is based on the paradigm of sustainable development (SD). Analytic hierarchyprocess (AHP) was applied and resorted to various software tools: Expert Choice(EC) and the Decision Lab (DL); and to a geographic information system (GIS) called“Mapinfo”. The results obtained show a hierarchy of three cities with population over200,000, in the order of “high to medium level”; however, it is observed that cities withless than 200,000 inhabitants, are in the category of “low level”; all, in terms of water resourcemanagement. It is known that the paradigm of DS, guides the equitable managementof urban water to meet the needs of present and future generations.This journal is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
