| Abstract (English): |
Objective. To analyze patterns of water intermittency in Mexican households from 2022 to 2024, identifying regional and socioeconomic inequalities, and their relationship with renewable water availability and drought severity. Materials and methods. We used data from the 2022, 2023, and 2024 waves of the Encuesta Nacional de Salud y Nutrición Continua. We estimated the proportion of households with continuous (24/7) access to piped water by region, socioeconomic status (SES), and urban-rural location. We also compared levels of water intermittency across regions with different levels of per capita renewable water availability and drought severity. Results. Only 36.5% of households in Mexico report continuous water supply. Rural households in the south and those with lower SES face higher levels of intermittency. Paradoxically, regions with the most severe drought conditions report higher levels of household water availability. Conclusions. Water intermittency in Mexico appears to be driven more by regional infrastructure inequalities and socioeconomic factors than by environmental water scarcity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

Objetivo. Analizar los patrones de intermitencia en el suministro de agua entre 2022 y 2024 a manera de identificar desigualdades regionales y socioeconómicas, y su relación con la disponibilidad de agua renovable y el estrés hídrico. Material y métodos. Se usaron datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Salud y Nutrición Continua 2022, 2023 y 2024. Se estimó la proporción de hogares con acceso continuo (24/7) al agua potable por región, nivel socioeconómico (NSE) y estrato urbano-rural. Además, se compararon niveles de intermitencia según la disponibilidad regional de agua renovable per cápita y niveles de sequía. Resultados. Sólo 36.5% de los hogares tienen suministro continuo. La intermitencia es más alta en hogares rurales del sur y entre los hogares con menor NSE. De forma paradójica, las regiones con mayor sequía presentan mejor abasto. Conclusiones. La intermitencia en México parece responder más a desigualdades en infraestructura y factores socioeconómicos que a condiciones ambientales de escasez hídrica. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
