Book Synopsis Rural Water Sustainability in Latin America and the Caribbean by : Lourdes Álvarez Prado
Download or read book Rural Water Sustainability in Latin America and the Caribbean written by Lourdes Álvarez Prado and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El agua es un recurso esencial y vector fundamental para el desarrollo sostenible. La falta de acceso a agua potable tiene impactos clave en la salud, la economía y la educación, especialmente en poblaciones vulnerables. Sin embargo, el acceso no garantiza un nivel adecuado de servicio, asequible, equitativo y universal. Importantes esfuerzos en el ámbito internacional han impulsado la agenda para mejorar el acceso a agua potable, especialmente en las zonas rurales donde históricamente los niveles de acceso han sido más bajos y su distribución más desigual. Varios modelos de gestión pública y privada del agua se han promovido en los países de América Latina y el Caribe (ALC). Tradicionalmente la gestión comunitaria ha sido el enfoque más común en las zonas rurales con apoyo de gobiernos e instituciones internacionales con resultados mixtos. El acceso a agua potable en ALC ha mejorado significativamente en las últimas décadas, alcanzando los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio. Sin embargo los retos siguen siendo enormes. La sostenibilidad es una tarea pendiente para garantizar un nivel óptimo de servicio en el largo plazo, con estrategias que garanticen las dimensiones ambiental, institucional, de gestión, financiera, técnica y social de la sostenibilidad de los sistemas. Este estudio se basa en una extensa revisión de literatura sobre agua rural en ALC y la evolución de su gestión bajo varios modelos. También se presenta un análisis exhaustivo sobre sostenibilidad en el sector agua y las herramientas para su medición. El análisis de más de 1.100 indicadores muestra que las dimensiones institucional, de gestión, técnica y financiera reúnen entre el 21 y 23 por ciento de los indicadores definidos en los 29 instrumentos para medir sostenibilidad evaluados. Los aspectos ambientales son los menos reconocidos, con un 4 por ciento. El estudio de caso en 100 comunidades rurales de Paraguay combina la teoría sobre indicadores para medir sostenibilidad con un enfoque práctico. La información disponible se completó con una encuesta de seguimiento a una muestra de usuarios y 100 juntas de saneamiento, junto con la evaluación técnica de los sistemas de agua. Los resultados muestran un alto nivel de servicio en casi las 100 comunidades, con una alta probabilidad de sostenibilidad en el largo plazo debido sobretodo a los altos niveles de gestión y el capital social en las comunidades. Los principales desafíos para la sostenibilidad de los sistemas de agua están relacionados con la calidad de la fuente – afectada negativamente por el cambio climático y la falta de normativa para controlar su uso – y la falta de capacidad para ampliar los sistemas de agua, principalmente a nivel financiero. El valor cultural del agua es un aspecto clave en la disposición a pagar y en la gestión responsable del sistema, así como el apoyo constante del gobierno paraguayo al sector del agua rural a cargo del Ministerio de Salud a través de una institución autónoma específica (SENASA). El estudio confirma que los desafíos en la medición de la sostenibilidad en los sistemas rurales de agua y en el desarrollo de un marco común son enormes. Los datos oficiales relativos al acceso a agua mejorada no reflejan los problemas de sostenibilidad que pueden poner en peligro las importantes inversiones en infraestructura nueva y rehabilitada. La participación de la comunidad para hacer frente a estos desafíos es clave, pero otras condiciones deben ser también garantizadas. La disponibilidad de indicadores apropiados para medir sostenibilidad es esencial para entender los porqués, los cómos y los quiénes son los responsables en asegurar la sostenibilidad de los sistemas. A partir de ahí, los gobiernos deben priorizar estrategias para mejorar en última instancia el bienestar de la población.

Book Synopsis The United Nations world water development report, 2017 by : WWAP
Download or read book The United Nations world water development report, 2017 written by WWAP and published by UNESCO Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-15 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United Nations World Water Assessment Programme (WWAP) is hosted and led by UNESCO. WWAP brings together the work of 31 UN-Water Members and 38 Partners to publish The United Nations World Water Development Report, (WWDR) series. The annual World Water Development Reports focus on strategic water issues. UN-Water Members and Partners, all experts in their respective fields, contribute the latest findings on a specific theme. The 2017 edition of the World Water Development Report focuses on 'Wastewater' and seeks to inform decision-makers, inside and outside the water community, about the importance of managing wastewater as an undervalued and sustainable source of water, energy, nutrients and other recoverable by-products, rather than something to be disposed of or a nuisance to be ignored. The report's title - Wastewater: The Untapped Resource - reflects the critical role that wastewater is poised to play in the context of a circular economy, whereby economic development is balanced with the protection of natural resources and environmental sustainability, and where a cleaner and more sustainable economy has a positive effect on the water quality. Improved wastewater management is not only critical to achieving the Sustainable Development Goal on clean water and sanitation (SDG 6), but also to other goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Book Synopsis The North American Mosaic by : Commission for Environmental Cooperation (Montréal, Québec). Secretariat
Download or read book The North American Mosaic written by Commission for Environmental Cooperation (Montréal, Québec). Secretariat and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.
Book Synopsis Metropolitan Governance in Latin America by : Alejandra Trejo Nieto

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents a powerful analysis of the challenges of metropolitan governance in all its messiness and complexity. It examines Latin American metropolitan governance by focusing on the issue of public service provision and comparatively examining five of the largest and most complex urban agglomerations in the region: Buenos Aires, Bogota, Lima, Mexico City and Santiago. The volume identifies and discusses the most pressing challenges associated with metropolitan coordination and the coverage, quality and financial sustainability of service delivery. It also reveals a number of spatial inequalities associated with inadequate provision, which may perpetuate poverty and other inequalities. Metropolitan Governance in Latin America will be valuable reading for advanced students, researchers and policymakers tackling themes of urban planning, spatial inequality, public service provision and Latin American urban development.

Book Synopsis Development as Freedom by : Amartya Sen
Download or read book Development as Freedom written by Amartya Sen and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2011-05-25 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the winner of the 1988 Nobel Prize in Economics, an essential and paradigm-altering framework for understanding economic development--for both rich and poor--in the twenty-first century. Freedom, Sen argues, is both the end and most efficient means of sustaining economic life and the key to securing the general welfare of the world's entire population. Releasing the idea of individual freedom from association with any particular historical, intellectual, political, or religious tradition, Sen clearly demonstrates its current applicability and possibilities. In the new global economy, where, despite unprecedented increases in overall opulence, the contemporary world denies elementary freedoms to vast numbers--perhaps even the majority of people--he concludes, it is still possible to practically and optimistically restain a sense of social accountability. Development as Freedom is essential reading.
