This report assesses water security in
Argentina, using a conceptual framework developed by the
World Bank. The effects of the pandemic reinforce the
importance of safe access to water, hygiene, and sanitation,
both as the first barrier against virus transmission and as
an essential factor during recovery to mitigate secondary
impacts on livelihoods and community well-being. The clear
need to ensure that water is available in sufficient
quantity and quality for human and productive uses, together
with controlling the effects of the excess of water,
highlights its central role in the economy, and in
particular in securing the well-being of vulnerable
communities. Argentina is already taking key steps to close
water security gaps. It is increasing access to water and
sanitation services with a focus on the most vulnerable;
defining planning instruments such as national water plans;
reinforcing tools such as the national information system
for water and sanitation, the national water network
information system (SNIH) and management and results plans
(PGRs) for public service companies; expanding the
regulatory framework with law 27,520 on minimum budgets for
adaptation to and mitigation of climate change; and creating
new entities such as the national directorate of drinking
water and sanitation (DNAPyS). This study builds on these
efforts and recommends steps to take toward becoming a more
water-secure country by 2030. |
