-UMAN-2020
En México, el avance en cobertura de agua potable es notorio. Según datos de la Comisión Nacional del Agua, en 2015 las viviendas urbanas con este servicio eran el 97.2%, y el 85% en el ámbito rural. Para 2016, la Encuesta de Hogares de Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía estableció que más de dos millones de hogares no reciben agua y más de ocho millones la reciben de manera intermitente. Este panorama refleja, además de grandes desigualdades y de la enorme brecha que tenemos en cuanto a la garantía del Derecho Humano al agua, la necesidad de pensar en sistemas no convencionales para su suministro a todos los hogares mexicanos.

The study of the intersection between international investment law and international water law is not new. However, this intersection may be better understood through the analysis of specific case studies, regions and/or economic sectors. This article observes the relationship between China and Laos in connection to the construction of dams in the Lancang/Mekong River.

-USAID,SWP – 2020
As demand for water continues to grow and climate change makes water availability less predictable, water security is an increasing challenge around the world. While many countries would like to adapt their water management strategies to respond to this challenge, a common hurdle is a lack of reliable data to support evidence-based decision-making. This problem is particularly true of transboundary water resources that are shared by two or more countries.

Transboundary water management can be politically difficult. This points to the need to find a politically salient entry point around which to build cooperation. In some cases, climate change itself can be the factor that opens up the opportunity for cooperation.

Latinoamérica presenta una amplia variabilidad climática, geográfica y social. Por ello, es necesario hablar de la gestión del agua como un área de trabajo con diferentes perspectivas a abordar y varios lugares comunes en relación con el recurso. Así, el tratamiento de las aguas residuales y la presión de las áreas urbanas sobre la disponibilidad de agua se alzan como los principales retos de la región, que además se enfrenta a las peores consecuencias de la crisis climática.
