Modelación estratégica de la cuenca del río rocha
This research paper details the use of Robust Decision Support (RDS) and WEAP modeling to manage water resources in the Rocha River basin, Bolivia. It highlights critical vulnerabilities including unsustainable groundwater extraction, severe river pollution (BOD 428-852 mg/l), and projected water supply reductions of up to 13% due to climate change. The study concludes that no single strategy is sufficient; instead, a combination of the Misicuni project, new water transfers, wastewater treatment plants, and a reduction in agricultural water losses (currently averaging 70%) is required to ensure water security through 2050.
