conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:08 authored by Saroj K. Sharma, Juan J. QuintanillaAfter the decentralisation, water supply systems in several municipalities of Cochabamba department,
Bolivia are being managed by different local institutions. The main aim of this study was to make a
comparative evaluation of the sustainability of three water supply systems in Cochabamba, Quillacollo
and Tiquipaya municipalities of Cochabamba. Based on the results of extensive field data collection and
sustainability scoring system developed, technical, financial, social, institutional, and environmental
aspects of these three water supply systems were analysed. Sustainability analysis showed that SEMAPA
Cochabamba has the highest score in all sustainability aspects followed by COAPAT Tiquipaya and
EMAPAQUI Quillacolo. Furthermore, the technical aspect is the weakest in all the three water supply
systems. Lessons learnt from this study could be used to improve the sustainability of water supply
systems in these municipalities and would be helpful to analyse water supply situations in other
municipalities in Bolivia.
