Water
Water is a universal necessity for life. Increasingly polluted and diminishing fresh water supplies threaten health and food security and stifle economic growth. In Central America, only 21% of the freshwater available in 1950 remains today. This decline is due to extensive deforestation and a lack of economic incentives for sustainable land use.
Through its watershed and coastal management programs, EcoLogic works with its partners and local communities to foster stewardship of water resources. This ensures that clean water remains available and that coastal resources are managed sustainably.
EcoLogic strengthens community stewardship of water through:
- protection of water sources
- watershed management
- organization of community leadership to manage water supplies
