Calidad del agua y seguridad ante inundaciones en la gestión sostenible del recurso hídrico

Abstract

The objective of this work is to evaluate strategic indicator options, complementary to the indicators of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), to measure annually the impact of sub-national budget programs on water resource management. The indicators of SDG 6 and SDG 11 were analyzed, as well as the internationally proposed Global Water Security Index based on these objectives; Emphasis was placed on the components of environmental water quality and flood protection. The results of these indicators for Mexico were compared with those of the national diagnosis of water security. The availability of official data for monitoring these water security issues was also analyzed, and an option of indicators was proposed to assess in a next stage. A preliminary exercise was carried out with available data for quality and protection issues, which are the most critical in Mexico’s water security according to the indicated Global Index.
