Abstract

In El Salvador there is no General Law that regulates matters concerning the conservation, use and quality of water as an essential resource for life and for the country's bioeconomy, given that it intervenes in a chain of processes for the production of food and beverages. The purpose of this analysis is to identify the strengths and weaknesses in terms of guaranteeing the preservation and sustained use of the water resource as a common good within the reach of humanity without any economic limitation, since the states and the inhabitants are in charge of ensuring due to the existence and quality of said resource. Water scarcity is considered a hydrological problem, but it corresponds to a greater degree to an economic problem, since it is a limited resource and is used 90% for economic activities and primarily for human consumption.
