Guatemala faces substantial resource and institutional challenges in successfully managing its national water resources. Deforestation is increasing as the global demand for timber exerts pressure on the forests of Guatemala. Soil erosion, runoff, and sedimentation of surface water is a result of deforestation from development of urban centers, agriculture needs, and conflicting land and water use planning. Sectors within industry are also growing and the prevalence of untreated effluents entering waterways and aquifers has grown alongside.

  • Guatemala enfrenta grandes desafíos para lograr una gestión adecuada de sus recursos hídricos nacionales. La deforestación sigue aumentando mientras la demanda mundial de madera ejerce presión sobre los bosques de Guatemala. La erosión del suelo, la escorrentía y la sedimentación de las aguas superficiales son el resultado de la deforestación, la cual es motivada por el desarrollo de los centros urbanos, las necesidades de la agricultura, y las contradicciones en la planificación del uso del agua y de tierras. Con el crecimiento de los sectores industriales, los efluentes no-tratados que entran en los cursos de agua y acuíferos ha crecido también. Las aguas residuales no-tratadas contaminan los recursos hídricos, mientras que las instalaciones de tratamiento son insuficientes. La población (es)
