Bolivia: household-level productive uses of water around Cochabamba

Entitled Household (HH)-level productive uses of water around Cochabamba, Bolivia, this case study examines household level productive uses of water in Bolivia focusing on two key areas:

1. The importance of productive activities in household water use, and the associated contributions water makes to livelihoods, and
2. The potential for water resources conflicts over allocations for household level productive uses.

The case study was carried out around the rapidly growing city of Cochabamba in central Bolivia. The study areas were Tarata, a small town to the south-east, and Tiquipaya, which is located on the peri-urban fringes of the city.
