| Summary: | This paper describes the status of water resources availability and demand in the upper and middle Tempisque watershed projected up to 2030 and the proposed actions to start a planning process. The resource availability scenarios incorporate the modifications inwater flows due to land use and climate changes; these combined effects increases the problems of water shortages during the dry season.
The resource demand scenarios include projections provided by the major users in the watershed, of which very few can envision growth expectations in terms of water consumption.
The proposed resource planning process integrates the analysis conducted in this thesis and tries to identify the basic steps to be followed for the proper management of the resource in the future. |
