Description
Summary:Drinking water as a limited and scarce resource must be studied from different perspectives. On the one hand, the agents that provide the service and on the other the consumers. For this reason, it is essential to analyze the performance of water utilities and the behavior of the demand of this resource in order to optimize its management. The following work describes, in broad strokes, which are the actors involved in the provision of water service in Colombia and how their performance has been in the last years. In addition, an econometric model with panel data is proposed where the independent variables that explain consumption are the service tariff and per capita income. Considering previous studies and economic theory, it is observed that the exposed suppositions are consistent.
