Argentina water quality and environmental litigation

Overview

Legal and regulatory actions regarding water quality and environmental protection are being implemented across various regions of Argentina.

In San Luis, the agency San Luis Agua has increased monitoring of reservoirs and rivers in the Ayacucho department, including the Luján dam and Quines River, to analyze physicochemical and microbiological properties for the Luján aqueduct.

In Buenos Aires province, a judicial ruling ordered the provincial government and ABSA to ensure tap water complies with the Argentine Food Code. This follows a 16-year legal dispute by residents of 9 de Julio concerning arsenic, nitrate, and fluoride levels. The court established an arsenic limit of 0.01 mg/l and affirmed access to potable water as a fundamental right.

Additionally, in Entre Ríos, Federal Justice has permitted the collection of water samples from the Uruguay River. This action is part of a lawsuit aimed at preventing environmental damage related to a proposed HIF Global fuel plant project in Paysandú, Uruguay, near the Argentine coast of Colón.
