Abstract

This Law amends and supplements the Water Law of 1996 with respect to the protection and preservation of water resources and the conditions for carrying out certain activities regarding water resources. Its provisions concern, among other things, the registration of public waters rights in the Land Book (state property right over the public domain goods), facilitation of the development of public and private investments (and use of lands in the public water domain), improvement of water protection and preservation (restriction on unreasonable use of water resources) and use of groundwater for irrigation.
