A knowledge product on how the Canary Islands solved their water self-sufficiency challenge, and what any region facing the same problem can learn from it.
The starting point
Eight islands with very different terrain, continuous population growth since 1960, and an economy resting on tourism and on an agricultural sector that had to innovate in order to survive. The report traces the technological path that made it possible to overcome this.
What it included
An analysis of the Canary Island water sector, public and private, a study of the international tender market in water and sanitation, and a database of active World Bank projects. The Inter-American Development Bank reviewed and commented on the document before its final version.
