Located some 40 km northeast of the city of Monterrey, the Sierra Higueras represents one of the most outstanding morphological features within the foreland of the Sierra Madre Oriental. Due to an increasing demand for water resources for the water supply of the metropolitan area of Monterrey and a growing industry in the state of Nuevo Ledn, the federal water supply agency of Monterrey (Servicios de Agua y Drenaje de Monterrey) is steadily seeking new groundwater exploitation sites. The first detailed geological mapping of parts of the Sierra Higueras in a scale of 1:10 000 provides a basis for future hydrogeological investigations. Recent information about lithology and the system of joints, faults, and fissures help to locate potential groundwater resources
