The objective of this research was to determine the relationship between the inefficiency of furrow irrigation, the geometric characteristics of agricultural plots and the depletion of the aquifer conditions of the Laguna Bustillos basin (Chihuahua, Mexico) in recent decades (1991-2012). The main results were: a) the analysis of geometric characteristics showed that the Mennonite properties have the least favorable conditions for the use of furrow irrigation; b) the index of inefficiency of furrow irrigation demonstrated the existence of agricultural plots that exceed 2.5 to 13 times the maximum allowed 2019, Instituto Mexicano de Tecnología del Agua.
