Abstract
MIRANDA-GOMEZ, Omar and RIVERA-CASTANEDA, Patricia. Public Issues and Institutional Capacity of UrbanWater Management in Baja California.Translated byErika Morales. Frontera norte [online]. 2023, vol.35, e2328. Epub June 15, 2023. ISSN 2594-0260. https://doi.org/10.33679/rfn.v1i1.2328.
Public issues regarding water are defined based on aspects of ownership and institutional responsibility, which has repercussions on their ability to implement effective actions for water resource management. The objective of this paper is to analyze government actions regarding urban water management and explain how they influence its institutional capacity. The methodology employed involved the use of institutional ethnography, which revealed the interactions between water resource management agencies and the priority action plans of governments. The findings recognize that the lack of institutional capacity is influenced by the particular interests of decision-makers who limit the political continuity of previous administrations. It is concluded that each administration addresses public issues according to their own interests, which may not always align with the needs and priorities of society.
