abstract: 'Economic and population growth in Mexico City (CDMX) is the main cause
|
|
|
|
of an increase in water demand against a naturally limited endowment,
|
|
|
|
which increases the gap between water demand and supply. In a water
|
|
|
|
scarcity environment, households are facing pressure to maintain their
|
|
|
|
involvement in the city''s only operating body, the Water System of
|
|
|
|
Mexico City (SACMEX) total supply. The objective of this work is to
|
|
|
|
measure the inequality in the distribution of drinking water and water
|
|
|
|
subsidies between households connected to the public network of CDMX in
|
|
|
|
order to generate objective indicators of the phenomenon. Having such
|
|
|
|
information provides a baseline scenario of the problem and allows for
|
|
|
|
the delineation of a policy covering the minimum levels of well-being in
|
|
|
|
the supply of drinking water that is appropriate for the most important
|
|
|
|
city in the country. The method consists of measuring inequality through
|
|
|
|
continuous variables estimating the Lorenz curve, the Gini coefficient,
|
|
|
|
the targeting coefficient and elasticity in water consumption and in
|
|
|
|
water subsidies among households in CDMX. Data comes from a household
|
|
|
|
survey carried out in 2011, Consumption Habits, Service and Quality of
|
|
|
|
Water by Household in Mexico City (EHCSCA). Results show that drinking
|
|
|
|
water and subsidies present a regressive distribution, benefit
|
|
|
|
high-income households and, to a lesser degree, the poorest households
|
|
|
|
in the city and highlight the urgency and importance for SACMEX to
|
|
|
|
redefine its policy on water distribution, fees and subsidies. The
|
|
|
|
present study''s scope can contribute to the monitoring of the
|
|
|
|
distribution of drinking water and of subsidies among household groups.
|
|
|
|
The study justifies that the indicators employed in this work can be
|
|
|
|
used and are recommended as a valuable tool in water management,
|
|
|
|
especially in a dynamic environment.'
