By September 2026, water and drainage infrastructure projects have continued to progress across Latin America. In Argentina, several regional initiatives are underway:

In Florencia, Santa Fe, a provincial water system renovation has reached 70% completion. Urban drainage efforts have expanded in Paraná, where the ‘Plan Calle a Calle’ is replacing storm drains, and in Córdoba, where the Sagrada Familia Avenue project is nearing completion. In Río Colorado, the Antena neighborhood is seeing curb and gutter construction.

New technological advancements have been introduced in Buenos Aires province. The Water Authority installed an FDX SenIQ-RD device at the Ladaga bridge on the Salado River, using 60 GHz FMCW radar and IoT connectivity for remote water level monitoring. Additionally, officials are evaluating a proposal from the Beijing IWHR Corporation to construct a 42.5-meter-long inflatable dam on the Luján River using reinforced rubber membrane technology to regulate water levels.

Service restorations have also been reported. In Argentina, the company Sameep repaired the Bermejo River water intake in Presidencia Roca after a log damaged an electric pump, a move expected to normalize water provision for seven localities in Chaco. In Venezuela, the Turimiquire Reservoir has resumed pumping operations to Margarita Island and parts of Sucre state, following a service outage since February caused by seismic damage to a transfer tunnel. This resumption is intended to reduce water distribution waiting times in several communities.

Previous efforts include water restoration in Tafí Viejo and La Rioja, aqueduct replacements in Valera, Venezuela, and emergency water responses in Río Hurtado, Chile.
