A GIS project was developed for cenote management and decision making in the Yucatan Peninsula. Information was obtained through governmental and civil databases, satellite imagery analysis and field visits. Spatial analysis was performed at the scale of 1:250,000 for cenotes and geology; land use and vegetation; soil type; protected areas; urban areas; population size of human settlements and roads. Danger and risk models for ecological degradation of cenotes were developed.
