Such situation implies a great challenge to guarantee its current and future supply to meet water´s increasing demands for its many purposes, considering the existing disparities among the country´s geographical regions and its different users. The current paper seeks to explore this dynamics and its future perspectives under the predicted climate change scenarios. Costa Rica es un país dotado de abundantes recursos hídricos; empero, la accesibilidad al agua potable es cada vez más escasa. Dicha situación representa un importante desafío para garantizar su suministro presente y futuro en aras de satisfacer la creciente demanda del preciado líquido en sus diversos usos, además de considerar las disparidades existentes entre las regiones geográficas de nuestro país y entre los distintos usuarios de este recurso. La presente entrega busca explorar esta dinámica y sus perspectivas a futuro sobre la base de los escenarios de cambio climático previsibles.
