Cochabamba Water Collective Case Study

Improved Essays
The Cochabamba Water Collective (CWC) is by far what I consider to be one of the better suited proposals for this area and for the management of these water resources. Bolivia itself does not have an incredibly advanced or well established infrastructure and still has a long way to go before it becomes as economically stable as many larger countries such as the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom.

    In this story, A Tale of Segregation:Fetching Water, it states that William and his father were unable to get their water from a local stop that was popular among the community. This had happened because while waiting for their turn, a group of white men who were racist against black people had taken their time to get water and after William of his father had waited thirty minutes they had decided to leave.

    Although the concept of Playpumps was idyllic in theory, its application was sabotaged by the strategy adopted by Playpumps International. Along with the technology, the focus was flawed: despite being a humanitarian project, there was greater emphasis on pleasing donors and meeting ambitious targets for glory, than supplying water to impoverished communities. It is important to understand that Playpumps are only one solution amongst a myriad of other water supply systems, and careful assessment is required to identify which combination of these solutions is appropriate for each individual community. Therefore, a change in priority and management is necessary to organise this project more effectively, in areas of administration, preparation, design, installation and maintenance. ADMINISTRATION:…

    Dispossession according to the oxford dictionary, is the action of depriving someone of land, property, and other possessions. In this paper, I shall focus on the citation; "“The rhetoric around the construction of these dams, and in particular the central concept of “beneficial use,” promoted a particular water logic that carries through to present day [indigenous/Cucapá] politics.” (2013:26). Water is not only a major source of livelihood for the Cucapá people but it is so important to them they also see it as a spiritual being, and the creation of dams has hindered the flow of their most prized resource. This has gone on to affect the lives of the Cucapá and because they are an indigenous people they are highly criticized for their use…
