CreationCreation
The Mexican Institute of Water Technology (IMTA) was created by presidential decree in 1986, as an autonomous public organization linked to the former Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources (SARH) with the main objective of:
“ developing technology and training the necessary qualified human resources in order to ensure the rational utilization and integrated management of water resources”.
Since 2001 IMTA is a state-owned organization, with its own legal personality and assets, and coordinated by the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT).
