Abstract
This document reports on an assessment of the potential of market mechanisms to improve rural livelihoods through watershed management, conducted by Fundación Natura Bolivia. Watershed management schemes in Bolivia have had minimal success. Most have been regulation-oriented, top-down approaches. Despite having a large per capita water supply, local water scarcity is a persistent problem in Bolivia.
