SERRANO CEBALLOS, Jorge; GRANADOS TORRES, Juan Martín e AVENDANO GONZALEZ, Luis Eusebio Alberto. Equity and human development on the basis of water access. Rev.Med.Electrón. [online]. 2017, vol.39, suppl.1, pp. 750-764. ISSN 1684-1824.
To approach the concept of water in the present, it is essential to speak of the lack or deficiency of the water resources in the world, either because for human consumption is only 3% of water on the planet, or by the number of people whom deficiency of water worldwide. These two assumptions polarizes the water situation, on the one hand those who considered it as a human right, which is a service in charge of the state, because when isintroduced into the text of the Constitution of Mexico already link up to the State; on the other hand, given the insufficiency of water, is granted the nature of goods, and as such it is intended that may have the fair value that requires to be a well that little by little becomes more precious, requiring investment for their collection and provision of the service. With regard to equity, the first of the positions would seek to benefit the entire population; but the second determines that only those with sufficient economic resource may have water. The last reasoning would lead to limitation of the existence and dignified life of many people who lack the economic resources to pay for it.
