Mendoza's Observatory of Water
The Observatory of Water is an institution created by governmental and academic institutions, with the purpose of monitoring aspects related to water (e.g., its quality and access to it) in the province of Mendoza, as well as public policies and private actions that have an impact on them. The Observatory also seeks to propose ideas to improve the management of water resources in the province. The Observatory is made up of technical teams from universities and institutes, representatives of government agencies and companies from the water sector.
