Sixth Roundtable

The sixth Round Table meeting took place on November 21, 2011 at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Campus Lo Contador, Providencia. Several new participants were attending, representing various private and public entities involved in the water sector within the Metropolitan Region.

It was the second out of three topic-specific Round Tables, during which participants collectively propose possible adaptation measures. This is based on the results of the expert studies performed by the CAS scientists as well as stakeholder knowledge and experiences. The focus of this sixth Round Table was on supply, demand and institutionality of water resources.

A scientific input was given on the effects of climate change on water availability and water service security, and possible adaptation measures for water management in the Metropolitan Region of Santiago. The participatory activity included brainstorming and discussion in three groups focusing on a) water availability, b) water demand, and c) water institutionality and was guided by a set of questions respectively.

All information will serve as an important basis for the selection and prioritization of concrete adaptation measures. The next Round Table meeting will take place on January 26, 2012.
