Abstract
Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) is a region well known for its social and economic contrasts. High levels of poverty and inequality coexist with high rates of growth and raw material exploitation. The lush nature, combined with large expanses of land also indicates a high concentration of natural resources. Development practices and economic growth lead to tensions between different social groups and actors about how this region should be. In this context, water and the struggles to access and control it have contributed to the construction of the political and natural landscape of the region.
