Water crisis in Bolivia

[kurt]

Hi, I am planning on doing some research on the privatization of water resources in Bolivia back in 1996. I'm looking for material specificaly related to the infrastructure of Bolivia's water system before privatization, and then after.

A fairly conservative perspectice on privatization of utilities includes somedata on boliva But kind of skeiwed portrayal.:

Good luck. Interesting topic, hopefully some of our Spanish speaking members will be able to access more relevant material.

Hey..
I just saw a really good movie called "the corporation".
It talks about the problem, and how a corporation controlled all the water in Boliva, and the movement against it. It also talks about a lot of other interesting things, such as the rights that a corporation has and all the legal loopholes they're entitled to. It's definately worth seeing.
