Aguas del Tunari

Aguas del Tunari is a private company that was responsible for managing water services in Cochabamba, Bolivia, from 1999 to 2000. It aimed to improve water supply infrastructure and coverage. However, high tariffs, water scarcity, and dissatisfaction among local residents led to widespread protests and the company's eventual withdrawal. The controversy highlighted issues of privatization, access, and affordability of essential services, prompting public debate about who should control vital resources and the importance of equitable water management.
