Sustainable Water Management Initiatives in Latin America- RALCEA guide of case studies

RALCEA (Latin American Network of Knowledge Centers in the Water Sector), as a way to meet its aim to foster capacity development and research development initiatives on water quality and treatment  decided to create a guideline that allows familiarization with case studies conducted by the Centers of Excellence in the Water Sector and Focal Points participating in the network.

 

To face the challenges that water scarcity represents and to achieve appropriate management, the following key factors have been considered in this guideline:

1) Cultural, Social, and Ecosystem Value of Water;

2) Efficient Use of Water Resources;

3) Aim for preservation of Hydrological resources ;

4) Water Governance.

 

The purpose of this project was to acquire new knowledge about water management and apply it to the development of more sustainable resource systems in the short- or long- term.

Contact information of the corresponding entities has been included in case you need any further details.
