Resumen
Descripción
During the 1990s, most countries in the
Latin American region undertook major reforms of their water
supply industries. Chile was the first to attempt to
modernize its water sector with new legislation passed as
early as 1988. By 1991, both Argentina and Mexico were
beginning to conduct a series of experiments with private
sector participation (PSP). In a second wave, Peru,
Colombia, and Bolivia enacted ambitious new legislation in
the mid-1990s, and during the second half of the decade,
reform began to take root in Brazil and Central America. By
the end of the 1990s, nearly all countries had completed
reforms, had major reforms in process, or were actively
considering reforms.
