The municipality of Santo Domingo is in such a case, with a predominantly dry climate and a 99 % dependence on groundwater of the Barril aquifer. Climatic, geological, and hydrological factors have conditioned not only access to water in quantity and quality, but also the type of vegetation and productive activities. Calculating a water poverty index (WPI) allows the evaluation of water poverty taking into account both physical and socioeconomic factors related to the availability of water. The WPI results from the weighted sum of six components: resources, access, use, capacity, quality, and environment, on an evaluation scale of 0 to 100. The objective of this work was to estimate the WPI in a region with extreme climatic conditions, scarce vegetation, contamination problems in soils and water such as those in Santo Domingo, obtaining a score of 27 points. 2019 artículo científico 0188-4999 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=37060163003 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/370/37060163003/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/370/37060163003/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/370/37060163003/37060163003.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/370/37060163003/movil https://doi.org/10.20937/RICA.2019.35.01.03 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=370 Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambiental application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambiental (México) Num.1 Vol.35 |
