Abstract: In the Mexican territory are diverse extreme climatic conditions, one of the special cases is the zones that in winter season get to have losses temperatures mainly, appearing in the north of the country and some zones of down country. In particular, Estado de Mexico is exposed every year on the winter to the conditions of intense cold, which are factor of risk for the well-being of the population. Three regions in which problematic one appears this: Xinantecatl region, Norponiente region and Iztacchihuatl-Popocatepetl region have been identified. Besides to protect to the society before the impacts of the winter season, derivatives of meteorological events, such as frosts, snow-covered, hailed and in general the low temperatures, in this paper study the effects of these meteorological phenomena in the hydraulic infrastructure of the populations at issue, in addition this topic is interesting for the authorities like an investigation relative to the same one and its possible solutions for this particular case in Latin America. The goal of this work is to make an extensive revision on the behavior of the cooling, freezing and rupture in the mechanisms of a potable water system in the region of the world and for the particular necessities, different to the first world. For which one considers to elaborate mathematical models for the simulation of the phenomenon in pipes, the experimentation in laboratory and the beginning of field tests in some zones you cold of the country.
