  "summary_es": "El documento aborda la omisión del Instituto Costarricense de Acueductos y Alcantarillados (AyA) en el suministro de agua potable a las comunidades del territorio indígena de Abrojo de Montezuma. Se analiza la situación histórica de desabastecimiento que afecta la calidad de vida y la salud de los pobladores, quienes no cuentan con un servicio de acueductos y alcantarillado suficiente y adecuado. El tribunal concluye que existe una conducta omisiva del AyA, lo que vulnera derechos fundamentales como el acceso al agua, la salud y el desarrollo pleno de las familias indígenas. Se destaca la importancia del recurso hídrico para el ejercicio de derechos humanos básicos y se reconoce la responsabilidad del Estado en garantizar dicho suministro en condiciones de dignidad.",
