El agua potable es un ‘lujo caro’ para el 90% de la población de la región Piura

The article highlights a severe deficit in continuous access to quality drinking water, particularly in the Piura region, where only a small fraction of residents receive 24/7 service. This inequality reflects a broader national trend in which water quality and reliability remain critical challenges, exposing significant disparities between urban and rural populations regarding basic public services. The root cause is attributed to flawed decentralization policies that transferred water management to local governments. This shift led to fragmented service provision and increased political interference in personnel decisions, ultimately weakening the operational efficiency of sanitation providers. Consequently, the institutional framework failed to ensure consistent service delivery across different administrative levels. This issue is vital for open data because it demonstrates how accessible statistics can reveal systemic governance failures. By making performance metrics transparent, open data enables civil society to hold local authorities accountable. It underscores the necessity of precise, publicly available information to diagnose structural inefficiencies and advocate for policy reforms that guarantee equitable access to essential resources.
