Abstract

El planeta únicamente dispone de un 0,005% de agua potable accesible. Esta limitación exige el uso de metodologías que aborden el carácter ecosocial de este recurso. La economía ecológica brinda esta posibilidad al integrar el indicador biofísico de la huella hídrica al metabolismo social, con el objetivo de estudiar el metabolismo hídrico. Esta fusión metodológica desarrolla una herramienta de análisis de la eficiencia productiva, que posibilita identificar y estudiar el proceso metabólico producción-consumo-impacto, de una empresa o institución, sobre la utilización del recurso hídrico. El caso de estudio estima la huella hídrica azul, como instrumento de análisis del metabolismo hídrico de la Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que dicha institución debe mejorar el uso de la energía eléctrica y los patrones de consumo de sus funcionarios, además, es vital continuar estimando el indicador, como un instrumento válido de gestión empresarial-ambiental.
