  This article deals with the evolution and modification of land use change in one of the most important watersheds of the country, which in addition to generating electricity by means of a hydraulic infrastructure work for a territorial surface of central Mexico and how anthropogenic activities modify land use change within the watershed by means of agriculture and livestock. The methodology used was worked in two phases: the first one on land use change using series III to VII provided by INEGI in a time span from 2002 to 2022 and with data processing using ArcMap 10.8.1 within the Laxaxalpan river basin and in particular in three municipalities of the state of Puebla: Ciconcuatla, Chignahuapan and Zacatlán and with the evolution in planted surfaces of four fruit trees: avocado, blueberry, cherry coffee and apple, the first two of recent introduction and the others that are of traditional type in diverse areas of the mentioned municipalities. The second phase was documentary with information from SIAP for planted areas and production value and from CONAPO for population growth in the study sites. The sum of the four fruit trees in the planted area had a small growth of 0.9 %, but in the value of production at market prices its growth rate was 7.71 % and in both cases the blueberry was the one that had the best indicators with 6.12 % and 9.66 % respectively and for the last year of the data, the contribution of the fruit trees to the economy of the region was 136.7 million Mexican pesos.
