Creating equitable water institutions on disputed land: a Honduran case study

Catherine M. Tucker

Water International, 2014, vol. 39, issue 2, 216-232

Abstract: This article explores the decade-long process by which village-level water committees established a reserve in 2002 to protect communal mountain springs in the Montaña Camapara region of Honduras. In so doing, it considers the conditions under which shared dependence on water resources may motivate cooperation and foster equitable access to water in the face of difficult challenges posed by conflicts over land and water rights claims and degradation of the resource.
