The WP9, Water resources in La Plata Basin (LPB) in the context of climate change, is part integrant of the Subproject 4, Socio-economic scenarios and adaptation/prevention strategies, that share with WP8, Land use change, agriculture and socio-economic implications, the technical, social and environmental responsibility to create tools to allow evaluate the impact of climate change scenarios at LPB. In a more comprehensive approach, WP9 addresses issues of crucial importance for the region such as the flood risks, the river navigation (problems induced by sediment transport), the hydropower production and the ecological systems in wetlands. The economic implications and adaptation strategies will be suggested. Collaborations with stakeholders such as CIC (Comité Intergubernamental Coordinador de los Países de la Cuenca del Plata), hydropower dams (South Brazil), and national water resources ministries will ensure the dissemination of the results to local and regional actors.

Abstract
The WP9, Water resources in La Plata Basin (LPB) in the context of climate change, is part integrant of the Subproject 4, Socio-economic scenarios and adaptation/prevention strategies, that share with WP8, Land use change, agriculture and socio-economic implications, the technical, social and environmental responsibility to create tools to allow evaluate the impact of climate change scenarios at LPB. In a more comprehensive approach, WP9 addresses issues of crucial importance for the region such as the flood risks, the river navigation (problems induced by sediment transport), the hydropower production and the ecological systems in wetlands. The economic implications and adaptation strategies will be suggested. Collaborations with stakeholders such as CIC (Comité Intergubernamental Coordinador de los Países de la Cuenca del Plata), hydropower dams (South Brazil), and national water resources ministries will ensure the dissemination of the results to local and regional actors.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
