Abstract

El acceso al agua es un derecho humano que se debe garantizar sin ninguna discriminación. Este artículo examina la existencia de inequidades en el ejercicio de este derecho mediante un análisis discriminante que identifica los factores que explican las diferencias en la calidad del agua para consumo humano entre los municipios colombianos en 2009. Los resultados indican que existen inequidades en el acceso al agua potable. En particular, los municipios más pobres registran los niveles de calidad más bajos.
