  1. LA PLATA BASIN A Framework for Sustainable Water Resources Management in the La Plata Basin, with Respect to the Hydrological Effects of Climatic Variability and Change 4TH BIENNIAL ROSENBERG INTERNATIONAL FORUM ON WATER POLICY LESSONS IN TRANSBOUNDARY RIVER BASIN MANAGEMENT Ankara, TurkeySeptember 2004 Dra. Ing. Silvia Rafaelli International Technical Coordinator

  2. A Framework for Sustainable Water Resources Management in the La Plata Basin, with Respect to the Hydrological Effects of Climatic Variability and Change UNITED NATIONS ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME - GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT FACILITY

  3. Project Objetive Strengthen the efforts of the governments of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguayto implement their shared vision for the environmentally and socially sustainable economic development of the la Plata Basin, specifically in the areas of the protection and integrated management of its water resources and adaptation to climatic change and variability, coordinated and locally executed by the CIC, within and through its comprehensive structure and with extensive and ongoing participation by stakeholders Harmonize and prepare a Programme of Strategic Actions for the Sustainable Management of the la Plata Basin.

Elaboration of the Strategic Action Program (SAP) Framework Strategic Action Program (FSAT) Common Vision Mega-Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA) Pilot Demonstration Projects for the Management of Critical Areas and Topics. Predicting the Impacts of Climatic Variability and Change on the Hydrology of the la Plata Basin. Institutional Digital Map and Documentation Center 18 months 5 years Nov 2003 Apr 2005

  7. Common Vision of sustainable development of La Plata Basin, related with water resources Topics to analyze: • Actual and potential water uses; • Land Use; • Agriculture production, land and ecosystems degradation; • Sediment transport related to waterways and energy; • Aquatic biodiversity, fisheries and waterculture; • Management programs of critical events related with water resources.

  8. Analyzed sub-basins

  9. Problems in the basin Alto Parana

  10. Problems in the basin Baixo Parana
