In order to measure sustainability, a systematic model was proposed involving society, institutions, infrastructure and the environment that would allow us to advance in the knowledge about interaction between society and its environment. Progress was achieved in the developing and measurement of some indicators, such as those related to quality of life and current state of water infrastructure and treatment. Using existing data, it was possible to develop and measure the following indicators for the sustainable use of water: 1. secure access to water; 2. access to adequate sanitation systems; 3. domiciliary connections; 4. water price; 5. water consumption, and 6. waste water treatment.

Este trabajo propone la generación de indicadores que permitan un avance en la evaluación del uso sustentable del agua en Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua. Para la medición de sustentabilidad se propone un modelo sistemático que involucra a la sociedad, la infraestructura, las instituciones y el medio ambiente. Se logra avanzar en la generación y medición de indicadores que tienen que ver con la calidad de vida de la sociedad, el estado actual de la infraestructura de agua potable y la respuesta en materia de tratamiento. Estos indicadores son: 1. acceso al agua segura; 2. acceso a instalaciones sanitarias adecuadas; 3. conexiones domiciliarias; 4. precio del agua; 5. consumo del agua; y 6. aguas residuales tratadas. Los resultados indican que en Ciudad Juárez el sistema municipal de agua y saneamiento presenta buenos indicadores de uso sustentable del agua; esto sin considerar la tasa de extracción-recarga del acuífero y la calidad del agua potable. Quedan por trabajar los indicadores sobre las instituciones o el marco legal (gobernabilidad del agua), sobre participación ciudadana y sobre impacto al medio ambiente.
