Answer 2

Bolivia

Explanation:

• The privatisation of water supply & sanitation in Bolivia happened during the 2nd mandate of Bolivian President "Hugo Banzer" (1997-2001)
• Water privatization was highlighted by the World Bank and the International Development Bank as a prerequisite for the Bolivian Government to continue on-going state loans. The Bechtel Corporation of the United States made an agreement to privatize water and profit to the Bolivian government.
• Most of the poorest communities had not been connected to the water supply network, so they pay much more for water that was not of good quality from trucks & hand-carts. Bechtel 's subsidiary expanded and take over the cooperative wells which were constructed before privatization at the expense of those who use the well and many had already paid for the current system
• In early 2000, there had been increasing protests against the rising water prices caused by privatization and a declaration of martial law. It is claimed that the process of privatization did nothing to improve water access and that the water prices rose that led to increase by about 2% of the poverty levels - as a result of these steps
