Environmental regulation, water, command and control, economic incentives, enforcementAbstract
Water resources are vital to life and economic development, but in Colombia they are under threat by negative externalities from diverse economic sectors. Water resource protection depends fundamentally on the quality and effectiveness of environmental regulation and Colombia seems to be an international reference point on environmental institutionalization given its completeness and comprehensiveness. However, Colombian water resources have declined in quality and availability over the last years. This reality motivated the development of an exhaustive analysis of Colombian water environmental regulation with an economic perspective. This article includes a review of the characteristics of these regulations concluding that the deterioration of water quality is not only the result of increasing population and economic development, but also of regulatory shortcomings due to institutional weakness, lack of enforcement, and the influence of interest groups.
