Water Governance and Infrastructure

The purpose of this paper is to reconstruct the history of sanitation in the city of Buenos Aires in the period between 1829 and 1905. Within this chronological milestone, the paper seeks to address political actions specifically directed towards the water supply and construction of a sewerage system in the city. The proposed approach involves the study of different forms of interation of government and of private capital in project implementation, construction and sanitation services to Buenos Aires. The content of the article is divided into two parts that represent important changes in the conduct of political reorganization of the city: the first part covers the period from 1829 to 1880, when projects arise catchment water produced by Carlos Enrique Pellegrini, having municipality and the provincial government as the main agents of sanitation of Buenos Aires, the second highlights the context of the federalization of the city, where the works are taken over by the federal government and the clash between private capital and government becomes more intense, it extends up from 1880 to 1905, the year of completion of project of sanitation of engineer John Fredrick La Trobe Bateman.
