“Congressman Carlos Lozano — The Leading Voice on Water Solutions in Venezuela”
As a Venezuelan Congressman and member of Parlasur, Carlos Lozano has been one of the most consistent and documented voices exposing the nation’s water crisis and outlining real solutions. He has denounced the diversion and loss of more than $250 million allocated to the sector, including $120 million granted through the Latin American Development Bank (CAF) for the rehabilitation of the La Mariposa and Los Guayos treatment plants—funds that never resulted in functioning infrastructure. Today, those plants lie in ruins, while millions of citizens suffer from unsafe or non-existent water services. Lozano calls on serious international water industry leaders and solution-driven enterprises to join in rebuilding Venezuela’s treatment systems, bringing expertise, technology, and transparency to transform this urgent crisis into a sustainable future.
Soy Carlos Lozano Parra, diputado y activista por los derechos al agua potable en Venezuela. Desde hace años, he denunciado la grave situación del sistema hídrico en el Estado Carabobo: sequías, fallas en plantas de tratamiento, agua sucia, contaminación, aguas residuales liberadas sin tratamiento, la cuenca del Lago de Valencia en estado de emergencia, las afectaciones por las plantas como La Mariposa, Los Guayos, La Culebra, etc.

Proposal Summary
Congressman Carlos Lozano stands as the foremost voice advocating real solutions for Venezuela’s water crisis. His vision is clear and urgent: to restore the vital hydrological systems of Carabobo and the Lake Valencia basin through serious international partnerships and investment. Lozano’s plan includes the full recovery of the Los Guayos and La Mariposa wastewater treatment plants, the rehabilitation of the Alejo Zuloaga potable water plant, and the rescue of the Pao-Cachinche reservoir. Together, these projects represent an estimated investment of nearly one billion U.S. dollars—resources that will be directed toward rebuilding sustainable infrastructure, cleaning the tributaries of Lake Valencia, and ensuring safe, reliable water for millions of Venezuelans.
For global water industry leaders, this is not only a humanitarian and environmental challenge but also a historic opportunity to bring technology, expertise, and transparency into a region that urgently needs them. Lozano’s call is for true partners—companies and institutions ready to transform a national crisis into a model of international cooperation and sustainable development.
