The foundation of the Spanish city of Santiago de Querétaro is pegged to July 25th, when Spaniard Hernán Pérez Bocanegra y Córdoba arrived with his ally and Otomi leader Conín.

Querétaro was "very fertile, fresh and vicious of grapes, pomegranates and figs, apart from many other fruits from Castilla". This neighborhood had grown, they were dedicated to raising major and minor cattle, as well as the cultivation of wheat.

The peons of the haciendas of Jofre, Buenavista, Santa Catarina and Montenegro, located in the municipality of Santa Rosa, "accompanied by music and in perfect order" came to the once quiet and peaceful city to request an increase in wages, decrease in tasks and the price of corn, apart from employee rotation.

Without question, one of the most important achievements of the Querétaro Congress was Article 27, which can be considered the culmination of centuries of struggles to resolve the problem of land and the poverty of rural people.
Querétaro is politically divided into 18 municipalities and Santa Rosa becomes part of the municipality of Querétaro.
1914 Carranza set out to gather a Constituent Congress. He considered that the seat should be the city of Querétaro, so it was declared the provisional capital of the Republic indefinitely, until the sessions ended.

The Santa Rosa Jauregui main town represents a sub-center and an important area of urban containment for all the surrounding neighborhoods. This area is limited by the Federal Highway 57, this highway represents a limit due to its hierarchy as main road. In the outskirts we can find progressive and precarious housing colonies such as La Cruz, Las Rosas and the Town of Santa Rosa Jauregui, meanwhile in the south, the zone adjoins to the most important recreational center, the Bicentennial Park. Talking about society distribution, the most part of population in the area is stablished in rural territory but they do not longer have answers for their commercial, education and health demand so the main town in Santa Rosa works as stuctural and attracting nucleus for the sorrounding rural communities.

There are many factors with a direct influence on water pollution today in Santa Rosa Jauregui. The principal causes are the lack of infrastructure for standardized wastes, water drainage systems, uncontrolled farming, and no recycling culture. As a result, water is polluted with feces, trash, and pesticides. When it rains in Santa Rosa during the summer the rain transforms what could a clean source of water be into a dirty drain. This combined with the low capacity of the drain and the non-permeability of the ground increases the flooding that will end up in Queretaro, risking and affecting directly to the environment and quality life of the population, especially to the houses and streets near the drain.

P r o b l e m a t i c
PRECIPITATION & F L O O D I N G QuerĂŠtaro has a problem with the rain mainly in June, July, and August. These months have rain levels of 120 mm maximum and a minimum of 110 mm. This precipitation causes floods in all the city and the most affected zone is Santa Rosa from the highest parts (North) to the lowewst parts of Santa Rosa (South). The rest of the year precipitations variate between 5 mm and 10 mm. The non-permeable floor, the low capacity of the drain, the different wastes dropped in it and the lack of correct infrastructure make a hard combination for people living near the drain affecting them in their daily life with flood risk.

P R O G R A M & Our project comes alive through three stages. First one consists of cleaning and expanding the drain. The cleanup is because water is planned to be seen as a point of convergence for users and can also be reusable. Its expansion is due to flood avoidance and water stagnations. The second stage goes more towards the mobility of the area. Today the car is the protagonist of our streets and this causes many environmental and fluidity problems. Non-motorized
P H A S E S
transport must be the basis of any urban planning project and this is why we created a road axis that respects pedestrians and bicycles that perfectly joins car roads. The third stage breaks down the design of public space. We take the drain as the central axis for the design of a linear park, which is complemented by another convergence space in the existing wetland area. It is here where water becomes the guiding axis for social cohesion in the area.

In order to accomplish hydraulic care and purification we will use trash traps in key locations. Afterwards, water will be driven to natural wetlands to start with filtration and eliminating foul odors and bacteria, attaining clean water as final output. There are different kinds of aquatic plants that can help with the filtration of water. The emersed species, like reed, are rooted in shallow water and help getting rid of heavier metals. Water trickling through the reed bed is cleaned by microorganisms living on the root system and in the litter. The floating species ,like water-lilies, help to purify the water by absorbing nutrients such as nitrate and phosphate from the water, while their photosynthesis produces oxygen in return.
