Chloé Nicolas Artero et al., « Propuesta de un indicador para estudiar la seguridad hídrica en la interfaz doméstica – comunitaria de áreas rurales chilenas », HAL-SHS : géographie, ID : 10670/1.s36nq3
This paper proposes a composite indicator to identify levels of water security at the household-community interface. It analyses the hydro-social processes that give rise to water scarcity situations experienced by the rural population supplied by community organizations in rural Chile. The indicator is based on a case study of ten community orga-nizations selected to represent the heterogeneity existing in the country, where semi-struc-tured interviews with their leaders and field observations were applied. Two main findings emerge from the study: 1) there is no correlation between the size of organizations and the levels of observed water security; 2) cases with greater difficulty accessing sufficient resources are not the ones facing greater water insecurity, as organizations compensate for this diffi-culty with other components.
