Abstract
Latin America is made up of several countries that have very similar cultures, languages, economies, and organization, mainly inherited from colonial institutions, as well as environmental conditions, societies, and problems. Dysfunctional water management and sanitation situations are basically the same, with some variation, and the opportunities seem to be similar in each country. However, Latin American countries still have not developed the capacity to work out water management and sanitation strategies in an integrated way.
