| Abstract | More than 850,000 inhabitants of Lima's peri-urban areas are supplied by 423 water trucks. This study gives information on the water truck system and its main problems. Most users involved in the system are compelled to buy water from the trucks in addition to other water systems. The methodology of the study included meetings to get community organizations, unions, and government institutions on one line, which resulted in a plan for improvement. A significant potential for negotiations among users, water suppliers, municipality, and SEDAPAL has been found. To improve the water quality and respond to the needs of the users suggestions for a better organization and regulation of the water truck system are proposed. |
