The village of Santa Rosa de Dinamarca, located on the Ucayali River in the
Peruvian Amazon, has requested the assistance of EWB - FC in the design and
construction of a potable water supply and distribution system and in the
demarcation of technical boundaries for their territory. Currently,
women of the community typically collect water from four shallow wells for
their water supply. Tests performed during the June 2007 and 2008 visit showed
these wells to be positive for coliform bacteria. In addition, resource
governance has been and is continuing to change dynamics of the use,
conservation, development and general management of resources that are
essential for the livelihood of indigenous communities along the Ucayali River.
