Water supply alternatives in the urban agglomeration of La Paz: An efficient tool for social integration and resilience of urban water management
Résumé
The drinking water supply model of the urban agglomeration of La Paz is based on a large system; it is a structure that captures, produces and distributes large amounts of drinking water through a network of pipelines. This model developed in European cities by hygienists has limited efficiency in an urban agglomeration located on the edge of the semi-arid zone of the Bolivian highlands where urban growth continues at a rapid pace. In a context with an increasing frequency and magnitude of water supply crises, this article seeks to show the alternatives developed by the low-income population to have access to water and suggests that these alternative forms practiced by these sectors may contribute to resilience to water scarcity.
