Water for All chronicles how Bolivians democratized water access, focusing on the Cochabamba region. Sarah T. Hines traces conflicts and compromises over water from the 1870s to the 2010s, showing how communities expanded supply and distribution through collective labor and social struggle, and how these struggles culminated in the 2000 Water War. Drawing on archival records and oral histories, the book examines water dispossession, reclaimed access, and the role of popular and indigenous movements in shaping democratic resource systems.
