Reduction of Risks and Vulnerability Based on Flooding and Droughts in the Estero Real Watershed

The programme will rely upon a coordinated set of interventions designed to implement new public policies for addressing climate change. They include: investments in infrastructure for storing and using rain and surface water in eight micro-watersheds in the upper watershed of the Estero Real River; introducing more efficient use of water in all production processes, increasing infiltration, strengthening soil structure, and stabilizing slopes; institutional development and capacity building in micro-watersheds, municipalities, and participating national institutions; ongoing monitoring and analysis of climatic conditions and changes in land use, water flows and soil quality; and the dissemination of results and lessons learned about building climate change resilience in vulnerable communities.
