Delving into the Divisive Waters of River Basin Planning in Bolivia: A Case Study in the Cochabamba Valley

The document describes a methodological effort to integrate Robust Decision Support (RDS) into Bolivia's National Watershed Policy, specifically for the Rocha River Basin Master Plan. It aims to provide stakeholders with tools to analyze interactions between water management interventions, manage hydrologic risks, and mitigate conflicts across different sectors and regions in the face of climate-induced water scarcity.

• The study applies the Robust Decision Support (RDS) framework to the Rocha River Basin Master Plan (PDC) to address challenges posed by natural and human-induced hydrologic variability and climate change projections, which increase the risk of water scarcity.
• The proposed methodological approach seeks to determine how water resources system models can respond to institutional governance and decision-making processes across various scales and contribute to the creation of effective planning instruments.
• The application of this framework is intended to help stakeholders identify the effects of water management interventions on system performance and ecosystem functions, utilize diverse indicators, and develop strategies to reduce inter-sectorial or cross-regional conflicts.
