GARCIA RIVERA, Enoc Alejandro. Water and hydrocarbons: An approach to their interaction under the human right to water approach. Cuest. Const. [online]. 2021, n.45, pp.107-147.  Epub May 09, 2022. ISSN 1405-9193.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iij.24484881e.2021.45.16659.

The second decade of the 21st century marks the beginning of the most important state impulse that has been imposed on the national hydrocarbon industry. Modifications to the Constitution, a new regulatory framework and government planning supported by its use and, above all, the increase in the number of exploitation projects are the greatest testimony of this. This last corollary that accompanies the new impulse of the oil industry comes with effects that tend to impact on assets protected by human rights, such as water, which generates tensions around its guarantee. Therefore, the present academic work aims to examine the implications of the human right to water and the negative effects of the use of hydrocarbons that undermine its guarantee within the framework of the conventions established for this right.
