Introduction
The lack of availability of safe drinking water is a major issue which affects a large
number of people across the globe. Water scarcity is referred to a lack of sufficient
availability of clear water in order to meet the demand for water usage of a particular region
(Postel, 2014). This is a global issue because over 2.1 billion people did not have access to
clean drinking water (WHO, 2017). The issue of water scarcity is a major issue in Mexico
because people are not able to meet their water demand. This report will be categorised
into two parts; the first part will focus on applying DPSEEA framework in the issue of water
scarcity and other social, political or economic influences that affect this issue will be
analysed as well. The second part of this report will focus on identifying how this issue is
currently being managed and evaluate the role of health agencies, key stakeholders and
legislative framework to address this issue. Recommendations will be given in this report to
propose changes in current policy, regulation and management to address this issue.
