Abstract

El objeto de este trabajo consiste en determinar el rol de la presión demográfica sobre el recurso hídrico y su relación con el desarrollo turístico, esto se expresa a través de un índice de presión demográfica sobre el agua. La investigación se llevó a cabo en la provincia de Loja (Sudamérica, Ecuador). Los resultados indican que la mayor presión demográfica sobre el agua se concentra en un área muy pequeña, al representar el 2.5% del territorio, y aproximadamente la mitad del mismo tiene problemas de presión sobre el recurso hídrico. Estos resultados responden principalmente a la alta con centración poblacional relativa en estas zonas, y a los factores hidrológicos y climáticos característicos que condicionan la cantidad de agua disponible y con ello el desarrollo turístico principalmente de los cantones fronterizos.
