Abstract

Economic growth in Latin America has been accompanied by increasing urbanization of the population. One repercussion of this has been the neglect of the needs of the rural population, including effective policies for the provision of protected sources of drinking water and adequate sanitation. This problem is particularly acute for the dispersed rural population. This paper is directed towards specific proposals for development of policies to provide safe drinking water and adequate sanitation to the rural poor. A description is provided of the contemporary situation and of the magnitude of the demand for better services.
