What is it about?

The book investigates the development of the right to water and of water law in the Latin American context.

Why is it important?

The book is important as it shows the intrinsic connection between the right to water, the need to engage local communities in water governance and the role of the private sector in the water debate. It does so through topical insights into Latin American water systems, both public, privatized and PPP. The relevance of the lessons learnt from the Latin American experience for the global debate on the right to water is convincingly proved.
