DE LEON, GERMÁN SANTACRUZ  e  -MARIN, DANIEL JACOBO. Human Right to Water: Narrative and Institutional Consumption of Bottled Water in Six Mexican Cities (2012-2018). Rev. Derecho [online]. 2024, n.62, e200.  Epub 02-Fev-2024. ISSN 0121-8697.  https://doi.org/10.14482/dere.62.101.200.

This article aims to analyze access to drinking water as a human right in Mexico. A study that documents the institutional narrative and the economic expenditure made by entities of the hydraulic sector to acquire bottled water in six Mexican cities is carried out. The methodology consists of two parts: first, a documentary, bibliographic, and hemerographic review; and, then the systematization of data obtained from the organisms under analysis. Results show that the selected dependencies allocate public resources to acquire bottled water for consumption inside their offices. It is concluded that, for the purposes of the proposed hypothesis, the human right to water is a prerogative that is difficult to achieve in the cities, even in the operational sphere of the authorities that should guarantee it.

Palavras-chave : Bottled water; human right to water; urban water; water supply; water quality.
