Abstract: In the 13 years since the United Nations Water Conference, the policies applied to the administration of water resources have undergone considerable modification in most countries. For most of this period no overall trend in the direction of change can be easily seen. Recently, however, with the general adoption of policies decentralizing water management responsibilities away from central governments, an opportunity has been presented for the general application of some of the basic management principles enunciated in the Mar del Plata Action Plan. This paper presents a review of current water administration policies and of water management problems in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean.
