Water Quality Management in San Luis Potosi, Mexico
Several countries have adopted water as a human right which implies access to safe Water sources for human consumption, among other conditions. Mexico has adopted this human right as well; however, there are still many actions that must be implemented before achieving Drinking water and Sanitation coverage as stated in the sustainable development objectives. In this paper, the situation related to access to safe Water sources for human use and consumption was analyzed for the state of San Luis Potosi in its four geographic regions: Altiplano, Center, Media, and Huasteca. Each of these regions has unique characteristics, for example, [lak] Altiplano region is arid and its Water sources are mostly Groundwater, while Huasteca is a humid region and its sources are mostly Surface water. For this work, each municipality of the state was visited, users and authorities were interviewed, documentary information was collected, and an analysis of this information was carried out to identify the problems most frequently encountered in each region, which are highlighted in this document. It was concluded that it is necessary to encourage a regionalized Management plan in the state of San Luis Potosi for this resource in order to minimize the main problems related to the quality of Water supply to protect the health of the population.
