Water and Sanitation Management Boards
The Water and Sanitation Management Boards are non-profit social organizations whose purpose is to provide drinking water service to the community. The creation of these meetings is at the request of interested neighbors who must present themselves before the competent authorities and give the Board a statute. Its purpose is to increase service levels and access to water resources. This type of organization is very important in the rural area. It depends on the supply and administration of this vital resource to meet human and productive needs.
