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

The paper applies the Robust Decision Support (RDS) framework to address water resource challenges in northern Patagonia, Argentina, through a participatory process involving researchers and decision-makers. Using simulation modeling and decision space visualization, the study identifies significant climate change impacts on the basin, which are potentially exacerbated by the expansion of agricultural areas. The findings emphasize that addressing these impacts is critical for maintaining environmental flow requirements and meeting reservoir level goals.

• The application of integrated water resources models, specifically simulation modeling and decision space visualization, indicates that climate change is having significant impacts on the basin in northern Patagonia.
• The negative impacts of climate change on the region's water resources could be intensified by the expansion of agricultural land.
• Mitigating climate change impacts is necessary to ensure that environmental flow requirements are met and reservoir level goals are achieved.
