Mexico City, along with the metropolitan area, has problems with water, soil, energy and food
shortages. Due to this problem, urban and peri-urban agriculture emerges as part of the solution, in
the supply of vegetables in local markets, reduction of the heat island, among others. However, in
most urban gardens, tap water is used to irrigate crops, so the objective of this work was to estimate
the volume of rainwater that can be stored in 13 gardens in Mexico City for one year, in order to
complement the water requirements for irrigation. Precipitation data from 2007-2018 from 12
meteorological stations near the gardens were used and the probability of exceedance was calculated
at 80%. The 13 orchards were divided into 3 groups according to the type of climate. Group.
