What is the status of the project?
“The feasibility study, made possible with financial support from the Partners for Water programme and the government of the Coquimbo Region, is ready. The study focused on the challenges I mentioned by looking at an entire river basin and involving the major stakeholders who have large water demands. This includes agricultural areas, urban developments, and industry, and both water quality and water quantity were taken into account. As part of the study, possible technologies and water-related practices were identified that can be implemented to improve the current situation. This will increase urban and rural resilience to climate change. Also, governance and stakeholder processes were analysed at local, regional, and national scales, and other gaps in scientific knowledge, governance, policy, finance, technologies, and practices were identified.”
