Desertification process and the right to water: Rural drinking water systems in the commune of Petorca, Chile
2021
Leuven
My internship corresponds to the field work that seeks to document the work of rural water systems in Petorca, an area in Chile that has been affected by a water crisis for decades. The rural water communities associate in committees provide water to them self in the rural settlements of Petorca that are administered, maintained and operated by the inhabitants, who also maintain a fervent defense of their human right to water.
