ABSTRACT
The purpose of this work is to analyze the current state of water resources, a year having elapsed since the state of emergency generated by the COVID 19 pandemic was decreed, developing the following aspects, water resources before the pandemic, measures implemented during the pandemic, methodology for assessing environmental impacts and impacts of the measures implemented during the pandemic on water resources. The methodology set out by Conesa (1997) was taken as a basis, from which five criteria were selected, specifically, nature, intensity, extension, moment and synergy, and these were applied to the five most restrictive measures implemented during the COVID 19 pandemic, obtaining as results that the measure with the highest score is the temporary closure of borders with 100 and the measure with the lowest score is wearing a mask with 38.75. While the total score is 356.25, which translates into a moderate impact on water resources.
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this scientific note is to discuss the impact of the COVID 19 pandemic on environmental conditions, expressed in terms of how the strategic measures implemented by the state, specifically mandatory social isolation, have affected aspects, such as water from rivers, atmospheric conditions, plant species, animal species and waste generation. This analysis allows us to conclude that the confinement measures have favored the decrease in pollution levels, evidenced by the greater presence of fish in rivers, clarity of the atmosphere, greenery and regeneration of plant species, and an increase in the volume of non-reusable waste.
