abstract = {This publication explores how Indigenous and rural communities across Latin America and the Caribbean are redefining water and sanitation management through ancestral knowledge, collective governance, and innovative, nature-based practices. Drawing on real examples from across the region, it examines how these communities combine traditional wisdom with low-cost ecological technologies to overcome water scarcity, protect ecosystems, and strengthen local resilience. By documenting a wide range of management models and adaptive strategies, the report offers valuable insights into how culturally grounded, community-led solutions can promote equity, sustainability, and environmental balance.},
