National Water Resources Council
The National Water Resources Council was created as a consultative, deliberative and advisory body to propose and agree on policies and to provide follow-up as well as to socially monitor the management of the water sector. Among the powers conferred by the General Water Law is the proposal of concerted policies for its implementation - it is in charge of promoting the implementation of actions and strategies in the water sector as well as the evaluation of compliance with these plans. The Council is composed of representatives of different state secretariats, government institutions, associations, professional associations, civil society, two representatives of the rural poor, and the Basin Councils, among others. 15 civil society representatives participate in the council.
