Navigating the Water-Energy Governance Landscape: Climate Change Adaptation Strategies in the Northern Patagonia Region, Argentina

This research paper applies the Robust Decision Support (RDS) framework to address water resource challenges in northern Patagonia, Argentina. Through participatory simulation modeling, the study finds that significant climate change impacts, potentially worsened by agricultural expansion, threaten the achievement of reservoir level goals and environmental flow requirements.

• The study employed the Robust Decision Support (RDS) framework, simulation modeling, and decision space visualization in a participatory process involving researchers and decision-makers to evaluate strategies and trade-offs for a large basin in northern Patagonia, Argentina.
• Simulation models indicate that climate change is having significant impacts on the region's water resources, and these effects may be worsened if agricultural areas are expanded.
• Addressing the impacts of climate change is necessary to ensure that environmental flow requirements and reservoir level goals are achieved.
