Modeling Andean Páramo
The study developed a WEAP system model for the Quiroz-Chipillico watershed in Peru's Piura region to address the lack of understanding regarding hydrological processes in tropical páramo wetlands. By simulating various scenarios based on stakeholder input, the model assesses river headflow, reservoir levels, and downstream water demand. The findings indicate that while climate variables like temperature and precipitation influence water production, land use changes are expected to be the primary driver of hydrological responses in the páramo and their subsequent downstream effects.
