In the area of the La Malinche stratovolcano the source of water is aquifer. The objective of this work was to analyze the relationship between population and water table ( ) in the Alto Atoyac and Huamantla aquifers. The following variables were used: Number of inhabitants ( ), annual change rates, annual percentage changes ( , and trends of and . Wells were grouped with principal components analysis ( ). The were compared with a factorial design. The annual change rates and were -0.159 m·year-1 and 6.7%, respectively. The rates of change of , were statistically different between aquifers. The relationship between and that stands out was equal to -16.5 cm·hab-1. trends were greater than trends. The factorial design showed that between the rainy and the low water seasons there were no significant differences, but between concession type there were. The correlated 51 wells with one component. In summary, this study revealed that the are higher in agricultural and urban areas, the one in the wells of industrial use is reduced five times more than in those of public use. The relationship between population and was clearer in the mountains than in the valleys. The showed that the wells around La Malinche differ from others in the study area.
