Abstract
Water availability and sufficiency to adequately meet the different objectives of its use are not only related to the existence of accessible sources and utilization capacity; use practices and competition between different sectors and regions are also determinants to the apparent scarcity. A water management institutional strengthening process requires recognition of the exploitation forms that have been consolidated as a result of federal institutional evolution. References to the federal water use pattern consider blue (color) water, but the potential and incentive structures to modify the use of green and gray water are rejected.
