Water Policy in Mexico : Economic, Institutional and Environmental Considerations Paperback / softback
Edited by Hilda R. Guerrero Garcia Rojas
Part of the Global Issues in Water Policy series
Paperback / softback
Description
Mexico is currently facing severe problems with water availability, wastage and contamination.
The most contaminated and over-exploited water resources are concentrated in the most populated areas of the country, where water is scarcer and its quality makes it unsuitable for a variety of uses, including human consumption.
At the same time it is indisputable that water quality is a determining factor in public health and ecosystems.
The significant growth in population and industry results in a high demand for water, along with contaminating discharges, few of which are treated – and the impact upon the ecosystems is evident.
This book addresses all these topics in a single volume, taking into account the challenges presented by the economic, institutional and environmental considerations in Mexico’s water policy framework.
