The Cochabamba Water Wars
Ten years ago this month, the Bolivian city of Cochabamba was at the center of an epic fight over one of the city’s most vital natural resources: its own water. The Water Wars occurred just months after the Battle of Seattle.

Over the past week, water activists from around the world gathered in Cochabamba to mark the tenth anniversary of the Water Wars.
