This edition of Web Serial looks at the commercialization of water in Latin America. In many countries, state distribution of the vital resource is increasingly problematic, and with privatization, more expensive. Meanwhile, private water companies are rapidly gaining ground. "Water - Resource or Business" looks at how this has played out in Colombia and Chile, as well as the situation in Bolivia, where a free of charge government program "My Water" has, since 2011, brought drinking water to thousands of communities for the first time in projects that involve cooperation with local residents, who when the program is operational, take over its management. teleSUR
