Resumen
Descripción
With water in Mexico becoming very
scarce spatially and over time, it is now a factor that
limits economic activity and social well-being in several
regions. The identification of priorities and trade-offs in
relation to water allocation requires careful and timely
attention to address an ever-growing range of complications
arising from the impact of various interlinked
considerations, such as sustainability of water resources,
fairness, pollution, environment, basic services,
development, competition, and globalization. National
policies, both within the water sector and for the overall
economy, need to accommodate these issues. The study
reported in this note is part of a broader analysis of the
sector. Its intent is to promote a stakeholders consultation
process, development of a specific set of background papers
to address the most pressing issues in water policy in the
country. Finally, the study included the development of
analytical models to assess the linkages and impacts of
various policy instruments on the water sector and the
economy with a focus on one river basin case study - Rio Bravo.
