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.

Water is an essential element in maintaining life and is needed for all social and economic endeavours. It is impossible to overstate the importance of water in our daily lives. It is a vital element of nearly all aspects of human existence from sustenance, sanitation, and health, to basic human security. However, the increase in world population and rapid socio-economic development amongst other reasons impose high pressure on water resources around the world. Therefore, water security is a global concern today. Water for All: A Tribute to Prof. Dr. Ismail Abustan, presents an adaptive approach on various aspects on water and its management. In Malaysia’s context, this approach is very useful in trying to achieve and promote economic and social development without jeopardizing the sustainability of the ecosystem. This book highlights various studies and perspectives by a group of researchers on water and its management within the context of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) that they have worked on with the late Prof. Dr. Ismail Abustan.
