Because of its climate and topography, the development of its water resources has always been a problem for Venezuela, but as late as the 1840s the projects built during the colonial period were still adequate to meet demand. However, with an increasing population and industrialization to consider, it is vital that a comprehensive water‐resource‐development plan be set up. Such a plan is now in the process of formulation.
