Hint:Sugarcane could even be a tropical, perennial grass that forms lateral shoots at the lowest to supply multiple stems, typically 3 to 4 m (10 to 13 ft) high and about 5 cm (2 in) in diameter. The stems grow into cane stalk which, when mature, constitutes around 75% of the whole plant.

Complete answer:
FEDECOR-organization of local professionals, including engineers & environmentalists, led the movement in Bolivia, backed by farmers who depended on irrigation, factory workers' unions confederation, Cochabamba mid-class students, street children, etc.
The World Bank forced the government of Bolivia to give up its power over urban water sources. These rights were sold by the government to a multinational corporation in the city of Cochabamba. Immediately, the company raised the price of water four times. Bolivia was met by a famous demonstration because of the high water prices. This protest was known as the water war in Bolivia. This protest was led by an organisation named FEDECOR in Bolivia. Local experts, including engineers and environmentalists, were part of this group.
