Description:
The application of environmental flow (EF) tool which is designed in consideration with data availability in river basins of Paraguay represents the first phase of this assistance. This tool will assist the authorities to develop the ntegrated water resource management (IWRM) plans with the identification of relevant adaptive measures. The Tebicuary River Basin is proposed as an on-the-job training where associated data are used to train stakeholders to understand the EF tool. Access to this tool: https://www.ctc-n.org/technical-assistance/projects/application-environmental-flows-and-river-basin-management-framework
Outcome:
• Control of flows, water intakes and discharges, which will result in a conserved and resilient environment • The sustainability of the water resource, the regulation of water exploitation, and the guarantee of access, use, management, control and enjoyment of resource to the entire population • The study of flooding in the Tebicuary river basin will reduce the vulnerability to floods by a 20% (around 112,000 inhabitants) • In this assistance, these contributions will have a direct impact on the Tebicuary River Basin population (around 560,000 inhabitants), but afterwards, the replicability of the tools in other basins will extend these benefits for all the country.
