    El proyecto de suministro de agua “El Zapotillo”: hechos y percepciones
    <jats:p>El objetivo del presente trabajo es describir cronológicamente los hechos que se han suscitado en torno a la presa “El Zapotillo” y analizarlos a la luz del marco de análisis y desarrollo institucional (IAD) de Elinor Ostrom, con la finalidad de examinar la viabilidad del proyecto. Se revisaron fuentes periodísticas, informes técnicos, documentos gubernamentales y el Diario Oficial de la Federación (DOF) con la finalidad de rescatar los principales acontecimientos sobre este proyecto. Como resultados se encontraron elementos que explican las razones por las que el proyecto no se ha concretado. La presa genera muchas dudas e incertidumbres. Existe una situación legal complicada que hace inviable técnica y políticamente su culminación, al menos por ahora.</jats:p>

    El servicio de agua potable para uso residencial en Colombia
    (U.D.C.A, 2018) ;
    Rubiano Moreno Jessica
    El agua potable, como recurso limitado y escaso, debe ser estudiado desde diferentes perspectivas. Por una parte, inciden los agentes que prestan el servicio y, por otra, los consumidores. Por tal motivo, es imprescindible analizar el desempeño de quienes se encargan del suministro de agua y cómo se comporta la demanda de dicho recurso, para optimizar su gestión. En el siguiente trabajo, se describe, a grandes rasgos, cuáles son los actores involucrados en la prestación del servicio de agua en Colombia y se analiza el desempeño en la gestión de los últimos años. Además, se propone un modelo econométrico con datos de panel, donde las variables independientes, que explican el consumo, son la tarifa del servicio y el ingreso per cápita. Teniendo en cuenta estudios previos y la teoría económica, se observa que los planteamientos expuestos son consistentes. Asimismo, se percibe una mejora en los indicadores de gestión de agua en los últimos años.

    How water quality affects perceived risk of waterborne disease: evidence from Zapopan, Mexico
    (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2026-02-06) ; ;
    Background Access to safe and clean drinking water is a key determinant of public health and well-being. This study explores the relationship between perceived unpleasant odor of tap water (as a proxy of water quality) and perception of health risks from tap water, in low- and middle-income areas of Mexico, emphasizing the role of perceptions shaped by sensory indicators such as taste, color, and odor. The connection between perceived unpleasant odor of tap water and perceived risk warrants attention as a public health concern, given its potential to influence consumer behavior, risk exposure, and trust in health-related products and services. Methods The analysis draws on household survey data collected through face-to-face interviews in Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico, in October 2018, complemented with a review of existing literature. Statistical regression models were executed to assess the association between perceived water quality and perceived health risk from drinking tap water. Results The analysis shows that households perceiving an unpleasant odor in tap water had 29% higher odds of identifying it as a health risk (OR = 1.29), controlling for socioeconomic and demographic conditions. Conclusions The findings underscore the need for public health interventions that address both actual and perceived water quality. Integrated water policies should prioritize equity, strengthen community trust, and incorporate engagement strategies to mitigate health risks linked to water insecurity.

    A Monte Carlo simulation case study on blueberries from Mexico

    <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Global blueberry production more than doubled during the last decade. In Mexico, the production of this fruit has grown faster than globally, positioning this country among the top five international blueberry-producing regions. This case study focuses on a prospective investor planning to grow blueberries in Mexico and export most production to the U.S., the largest producer and consumer of fresh blueberries. A high-technology producer growing blueberries under high tunnels in western Mexico is featured in this article. The case study was researched using a combination of field visits to blueberry producers, collaborative work with an industry consultant, and academic research. The article provides industry statistics on blueberries in Mexico and globally over the last decade. In addition, it describes how the authors conceptualized and developed discounted cash flow models to evaluate this potential investment. Despite the importance of blueberries from Mexico, there is a need for financial models to assess the profitability and risk of growing blueberries in that country. Students solving this case are expected to identify risks and opportunities in the industry and conduct Porter’s five forces competitive analysis. In addition, students will mainly evaluate the results of a stochastic capital budgeting model.</jats:p>
