The National Roundtable Against Metallic Mining, an entity that groups 11 citizen organizations - delivered a letter to the Legislative Assembly to demand approval of the proposed General Water Law submitted by civil society organizations in 2006.
In the letter submitted, they demand that the discussion of two previous proposals presented by civil society organizations and the government on the regulation of water be resumed.
The two bills were discussed during previous legislatures with more than 60% of the proposed articles discussed and approved, but both proposals stalled after failing a consensus among the various party factions on the subject of the administrative body required to manage Water resources.
