Abstract (English):	Scarcity of water resources, poor water quality, and inadequate sanitation negatively impact food security, livelihood options, and educational opportunities for poor families around the world. Drought affects some of the poorest countries in the world, worsening hunger and malnutrition, 3 for which it is necessary to use water resources effectively. Cuba develops strategies to achieve optimal operation and maintenance of hydraulic infrastructure, which is why the main objective of this work is to estimate the rate of water consumption in the Analytical, Microbiology and Materials Protection laboratories of the National Center for Scientific Research (CNIC). The knowledge of it allows to increase the efficiency of the use of water in the laboratories in such a way that savings are guaranteed and work strategies are drawn up for environmental sustainability. This work does not include the calculation of social consumption, only the drinking or distilled water used for each analytical test, that consumed by technological equipment and that used in the scrubbing of glassware and laboratory utensils is estimated. For this, the universe of activities that takes place in each laboratory was analyzed and a work methodology was drawn up. Once the consumption index of each laboratory was obtained, it was compared with Resolution No. 287/2015 of the National Institute of Hydraulic Resources (INRH), the values of drinking water obtained being higher than those contemplated in the resolution. The result of this work serves as a proposal for an update of the consumption indices, in the industry and in the services, taking into account that since the date the resolution was issued, until now there have been technological changes and an increase in services.

Abstract (Spanish):	La escasez de recursos hídricos, la mala calidad del agua y el saneamiento inadecuado influyen negativamente en la seguridad alimentaria, las opciones de medios de subsistencia y las oportunidades de educación para las familias pobres en todo el mundo. La sequía afecta a algunos de los países más pobres del mundo, recrudece el hambre y la desnutrición, por lo que se hace necesario utilizar de modo eficaz el recurso hidráulico. Cuba desarrolla tácticas para alcanzar el óptimo funcionamiento y mantenimiento de la infraestructura hidráulica, es por ello que el objetivo principal de este trabajo es estimar el índice de consumo de agua en los laboratorios de Analítica, Microbiología y Protección de Materiales del Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas (CNIC), ya que el conocimiento del mismo permite incrementar la eficiencia del uso de agua en los laboratorios, de forma que se garantice el ahorro y se tracen estrategias de trabajo para la sostenibilidad medioambiental. Este trabajo no incluye el cálculo del consumo social, solo se estima el agua potable y destilada empleada por cada ensayo analítico, la consumida por los equipos tecnológicos y la utilizada en el fregado de la cristalería y utensilios de laboratorio. Para ello se analizó el universo de actividades que se desarrolla en cada laboratorio y se trazó una metodología de trabajo. Una vez obtenido el índice de consumo de cada laboratorio se comparó con la Resolución N0 287/2015 del Instituto Nacional de Recursos Hidráulicos (INRH), siendo superiores los valores de agua potable obtenidos a los contemplados en la resolución. Sirva de propuesta el resultado de este trabajo para una actualización de los índices de consumo, en la industria y en los servicios, teniendo en cuenta que desde la fecha de emitida la resolución, hasta el momento han ocurrido cambios tecnológicos e incremento de los servicios.
