Water for All chronicles how Bolivians democratized water access,
focusing on the Cochabamba region, which is known for acute water
scarcity and explosive water protests. Sarah T. Hines examines
conflict and compromises over water from the 1870s to the 2010s,
showing how communities of water users increased supply and
extended distribution through collective labor and social struggle.
Analyzing a wide variety of sources, from agrarian reform case
records to oral history interviews, Hines investigates how water
dispossession in the late nineteenth century and reclaimed water
access in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries prompted,
shaped, and strengthened popular and indigenous social movements.
The struggle for democratic control over water culminated in the
successful 2000 Water War, a decisive turning point for Bolivian
politics. This story offers lessons for contemporary resource
management and grassroots movements about how humans can build
equitable, democratic, and sustainable resource systems in the
Andes, Latin America, and beyond.
