CACERES, Verónica Lucía. Drinking water supply in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, during the pandemic. Civilizar [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.42, e20220104. Epub 12-Jan-2023. ISSN 1657-8953. https://doi.org/10.22518/jour.ccsh/20220104.
This work seeks to analyze drinking water supply in the province of Buenos Aires during the coronavirus pandemic. Buenos Aires is the most important province in the Argentine Republic in terms of population, and although it has numerous companies providing the water supply service, there is a notorious inequality in the access to this resource in some parts of the territory. This work adopted a qualitative research approach that combines the systematization and analysis of primary data, collected through documentary observation and in-depth interviews to key informants, as well as secondary statistical data and information on the legislation of the sector. In the context of the pandemic, the preventive actions established by the Argentinian State emphasized the importance of water availability within the authorized protocols for the performance of different health, productive, educational, and recreational activities. However, despite the actions established for protecting the rights of water service users, the situation of the population without access to water in this province was not considered.
