Valoración económica del atributo ambiental que provee el agua subterránea en la localidad de Puente Aranda

Abstract

The over consumption of groundwater sources, for their subsequent use, carries a series of impacts, since the water extraction activities of an aquifer, through pumping to the surface, carry on the ecological services that prohibit them, in particular, to avoid soil subsidence, which may lead to an increase in the demand and effects of global warming, a compactness of the mineral skeleton of the subsoil, which avoids public and private structures, thus generating a series of billionaires registered throughout the world. It is for this reason that the environmental economic valuation becomes relevant to identify costs and benefits that contract environmental solutions, signed under the assumptions of efficiency in the decision making.
