El uso de datos satelitales para evaluar la relación entre factores climáticos, calidad del agua y enfermedades infecciosas en Chile

The document outlines a project to integrate satellite imagery, climate data, and water sampling to improve the surveillance of waterborne diseases in Chile. Focusing on the Maipo and Mapocho river basins, the research evaluates how climate variability and water quality influence the presence of Salmonella. While spectral indices from satellites show potential for identifying high-risk zones, the brief notes that prolonged droughts and a lack of microbiological data hinder the immediate creation of operational models. It emphasizes that inter-institutional coordination is necessary to translate scientific evidence into public health policies and climate adaptation strategies.

• Climate change in Chile is altering temperature, precipitation, and drought patterns, which degrades surface water quality and increases the risk of waterborne infectious diseases such as salmonellosis.
• Satellite-derived spectral indices have the potential to identify high-risk areas, particularly during periods of high water variability.
• The immediate implementation of operational models is obstructed by prolonged droughts and limitations in available microbiological data.
• Scientific information does not automatically result in public policy due to existing gaps in coordination between different institutions.
