Resumen

Se analizan las estructuras tarifarias del abastecimiento de agua de consumo urbano doméstico, para evaluar sus precios. Dichos precios y su variabilidad se contextualizan espacialmente y sus patrones son analizados para perfiles municipales urbanos y turísticos. Los escenarios revelan que los bloques tarifarios no son suficientemente progresivos y que los precios son bajos, particularmente en urbanizaciones extensiva, con dominio de jardines y piscinas. Finalmente, analizamos el marco institucional para establecer los precios del agua y hacer una gestión de los recursos más sostenible.
