Strategies for increasing water availability and enhancing water-use efficiency in Latin America and the Caribbean.
What strategies to choose to overcome the challenge of water management? Climate change, new patterns of land use, deforestation and urbanisation, among others, make water management in Latin America and the Caribbean a challenge of significant complexity. Population growth also plays an important role: the region's population has grown steadily since 1950, to over 650 million today, adding pressure in terms of water availability. Despite this scenario, efforts have been made at all levels. Discover in this publication the work on research and technology to improve water management and use in Latin America and the Caribbean, how progress has been made in the recovery of techniques, what their strengths and weaknesses are, and what countries can do to adopt them. This publication is aimed primarily at technicians and decision-makers who have an impact on public policies, strategic plans and management, as well as all those who interact in water resource management.
