Legislative Prior Consultation on Water Laws
The Legislative Consultation on Water Laws is the legislative consultation carried out by the National Assembly of Ecuador for indigenous and traditional peoples on the subject of a new law on the exploration of water resources in Ecuador. The substantive issues presented to the consultation were: the administration and management of the water system, community water management and distribution system skills. In addition, one of the central points of the discussion was the possibility of the privatization of the country's water system, a proposal that was rejected by the consulted communities. Participation in the hearings included 1494 organizations from 22 provinces across the country.
