VAZQUEZ-GARCIA, Verónica. Gender, Environmental Disasters, and Bottled Water Consumption: The Case of the Sonora River Watershed. Región y sociedad [online]. 2021, vol.33, e1473. Epub 16-Nov-2021. ISSN 2448-4849. https://doi.org/10.22198/rys2021/33/1473.
Objective: to study from a gender perspective the consumption of bottled water in the context of the environmental disaster caused by the spilled 40 000 m3 of cupper leachates in the Sonora river. Methodology: 40 interviews, one workshop and 28 questionnaires were applied in various communities of the watershed. Results: bottled water of different brands and prizes has become an element of differentiation among women. Limitations: the need to broaden the sample and to conduct a biomedical analysis in order to deepen the results. Value: to explain the factors that intervene in the substitution of tapped water for bottled water in the Sonora watershed river. Conclusions: using a gender approach helps to understand the decisions that women make regarding water for human consumption.
