Abstract

Que un elemento de la naturaleza como el agua dulce escasee debería ser motivo de preocupación para todos los habitantes del planeta, pero no lo es. Que el agua ahora se cotice en las bolsas de valores anuncia que en el futuro cercano nuestros páramos serán propiedad privada de unos cuantos accionistas, algo que debería preocupar especialmente a los colombianos. Y que el agua confiable para el consumo humano también se torne escasa debe-ría preocupar a los gobiernos auténticamente democráticos, pero no les preocupa como debiera. Este libro reúne a economistas, juristas e ingenieros que estudiaron el derecho humano al agua, las políticas que promueven su garantía, así como algunas inquietantes expresiones de su ineficacia y que motivan el título de la obra, Las carencias de agua potable en Colombia. Con la pandemia, estas carencias pusieron en evidencia las contradicciones discernibles desde la doctrina del acto propio, cuando las autoridades sanitarias exigieron el autocuidado higiénico mediante el lavado de manos al menos tres veces al día a todos los colombianos, entre ellos a los 7,6 millones que aún no gozan del acceso a agua confiable: ¿cómo puede un Estado que omite garantizar el derecho humano al agua exigir a sus ciudadanos la higiene personal?
