Abstract
La presión sobre los recursos hídricos es un problema que, anudado a los crecientes niveles de contaminación, ha conducido en los últimos tiempos a la sobreexplotación y a un incremento de la demanda por agua, con sus consecuencias en la calidad. La expansión de las redes de abastecimiento, el crecimiento de las zonas urbanas y rurales, el incremento de la superficie de riego, el aumento en la producción agropecuaria, la expansión industrial, la mala gestión pública y los bajos costos del agua son factores que explican el deterioro del recurso hídrico. Este artículo tiene como objetivo establecer una visión rápida sobre los problemas, la gestión y el valor económico del recurso hídrico. Aunque no existen muchos estudios empíricos en el mundo, nuestro país dispone de algunas estadísticas que serán presentadas, destacando sobre todo los costos financieros y económicos del recurso hídrico, así como las desigualdades que se presentan como privilegios sociales, culturales y antropológicos.******The pressure exerted on water resources is a problem that, added to the growing levels of pollution, has led to overexploitation and an increased demand for water, and the consequences of this on its quality. The expansion of the water networks, the growth of urban and rural areas, increased farming, industrial expansion and low water costs are some of the factors that explain the deterioration of our water resources. The purpose of this paper is to provide a quick glimpse at the problems, the management and the economic value of the water resources. Globally, not many empirical studies on the subject have been undertaken. However, our country has a number of statistics that will be presented, in particular, the financial and economic costs of the water resources and inequalities driven by social, cultural and anthropological privileges.
