Methodology to prioritize actions on a Water Policy

We are setting to water resources as a keystone into economy. According to new policy, three main scopes and actions has been proposed: An increase in the availability of water resources, An improvement in water use efficiency and an improvement in allocation based on information systems and water markets. All actions are based on (1) the relationship between increasing water availability and its efficient use to alleviate water scarcity and food security, (2) environmental sustainability, (3) the role of users to promote a fair distribution of resource into water markets.
