Global Water Vulnerability

Abstract

The article deals with current water vulnerability at the global level, considering new proposals around the concept of meta-basin. as a re-territoriality of water. Likewise, some emergent properties such as acceleration (Velocity has disrupted the natural time of water recovery and the time of permanence in its reservoirs) are taken into account. Acceleration coexists with an alternating temporal space, in which the water that runs off or remains in its natural reservoirs is out of sync with this social acceleration. The speed with which it is extracted, consumed, used and returned does not correspond to its natural cycle. Time is a component that leads to scarcity, and compression, which contribute to water vulnerability. On the other hand, the issue of the human right to water and its paradox of Indemnity is analyzed, that is, how to guarantee what cannot be guaranteed.
