Question

Explain the main reason for starting of water war in bolivia

Answer 1

The history of the Water War is characterized by a simple and powerful narrative: in 1997 the World Bank gave Bolivia a loan to improve the water system in its largest cities, including Cochabamba, in exchange for privatization of those water systems. In September of 1999 the government handed over Cochabamba’s water, without any public consultation, to a consortium led by California engineering giant Bechtel Corporation, which shortly after raises water rates enormously, unleashing a popular rebellion unprecedented. In April of 2000, after the government (led by an ex-dictator) had imposed a state of siege on the city and left a young man dead (Victor Hugo Daza) and dozens injured, Bechtel had to leave Bolivia.
