Información recibida en relación con la presunta vulneración del derecho humano al agua potable en los departamentos de Montevideo y Canelones a partir de la crisis hídrica que afecta la disponibilidad y seguridad del agua para consumo y uso humano en esas zonas. Dada su intrínseca relación con la sobrevivencia humana, esta vulneración del derecho al agua potable constituiría un riesgo al derecho a la vida, a la salud, y a la alimentación de la población que vive en estas zonas. Asimismo, de acuerdo con la información recibida, el derecho al agua potable y saneamiento, a la vida y a la salud de ciertos grupos de población está en mayor riesgo porque la crisis del agua les ha afectado desproporcionadamente. La vulneración del derecho al agua potable se ve presuntamente agravada por la priorización de usos productivos y comerciales en el país, cuya actividad no se ha visto reducida pese a la alarmante situación, así como por la falta de inversión en la infraestructura acuífera del país y por una disminución de personal cualificado en la empresa de titularidad pública que gestiona el agua, las Obras Sanitarias del Estado (OSE).Alleged victims: - More details... |
