This SEI fact sheet examines the impact of land-use change, deforestation, and decentralized water infrastructure on the hydrology of the Chiquitano dry forest in Bolivia, specifically within the Santa Cruz Department. It highlights the proliferation of 'atajados' (artificial storage ponds) and groundwater wells driven by agricultural expansion, noting that these unregulated diversions are not currently represented in regional hydrologic models and may threaten downstream ecosystems and water availability.
