Abstract

El suministro y acceso al agua han ganado una atención generalizada, especialmente con la pandemia de coronavirus en curso. Los resúmenes de los documentos muestran que la pandemia ha provocado que los inversores se retengan para canalizar fondos hacia los sistemas de agua en Paraguay, lo que deja a las personas de las zonas rurales sin poder obtener la protección básica contra el virus. Los desafíos enfrentados se exploran en la revisión sistemática posterior. Los resultados muestran que Paraguay tiene un sistema de agua más que funcional que, sin embargo, puede mejorarse mediante la colaboración entre entidades privadas y gubernamentales. Las recomendaciones formuladas exigen la participación de todas las partes interesadas en la toma de decisiones para encontrar una solución férrea al problema.
