This paper describes the application of WaterWorld (<a href="www.policysupport.org/waterworld"target="_blank">www.policysupport.org/waterworld</a>)
to the Peruvian Amazon, an area that is increasingly under
pressure from deforestation and water pollution as a result of population
growth, rural-to-urban migration and oil and gas extraction, potentially
impacting both water quantity and water quality. By applying single and
combined plausible scenarios of climate change, deforestation around
existing and planned roads, population growth and rural–urban migration,
mining and oil and gas exploitation, we explore the potential <i>combined</i> impacts of
these multiple changes on water resources in the Peruvian Amazon. |
