Integrated Management Plan of Water Resources
The Integrated Management of Water Resources in the Lake Atitlán basin, located in the volcanic mountains of Guatemala, reflects the attempt to generate a participatory policy on water resources through deliberation with various organizations prior to the development of a Management plan for the basin. The plan was designed in a participatory manner and proposed the following measures: the establishment of municipal committees for natural resources, the treatment of water used for coffee plantations and domestic use, the regulation of the use of chemicals in crops, the development of ecotourism in the area, the consolidation of protected areas and the protection of marine species, among others.
