The Infiltration Gallery in Mexico: Two Diffusions Richard K. Cleek Contents: Introduction 1. The Infiltration Gallery 2. The Initial Diffusion 3. Diffusion by Engineers 4. A Further Diffusion Summary Introduction Water supply for both irrigation and domestic use is obtained in many areas of Mexico using a Middle Eastern technique — the qanat or infiltration gallery. Two distinctive diffusion processes have led to two patterns of gallery use in Mexico. The first and earliest distribution pattern of widespread gallery systems is found in the Puebla-Tehuacan Valleys, is associated primarily with irrigation, and is the result of expansion diffusion through adopters familiar with the technique. Although the initial introduction of the gallery is obscure most evidence points to an early post-Conquest period of diffusion through both religious orders and haciendas. The second major pattern of scattered single systems is associated with government-built potable water supply galleries with villagers playing the role of passive adopters. In this case, the gallery was introduced to Mexican engineers through the technical literature of southern Europe and the United States - engineers who applied the tech nique as standard engineering practice. These patterns are the result of two diffusion processes occurring at different times. The first diffusion mechanism led to an early spread of the technique of the infiltration gallery in the Puebla-Tehuacan Valleys during the post-Conquest period; the second diffusion occurred early in the twentieth century. Each of these processes resulted in different patterns of distribution, water use, and social control of the galleries. Anthropos 68. 1973
