Water-Resources Management Concept
![Page 3: Internacional water-resources-issues](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b16441a28ab87308b46d3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Examples of Global Water Issues
• Human health (water supply/sanitation)
• Food and agriculture• Mining and industry• Other water uses – recreation &
fishing• Political conflicts• Lack of regulatory enforcement• Discussion, opinions, and questions
![Page 4: Internacional water-resources-issues](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b16441a28ab87308b46d3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
A “check list” – to keep in mind during this presentation:
• Water availability (supply) – quantity & quality
• Water-resources sustainability (climate change)
• Water law, administration, and enforcement
• Studies and decisions with limited data– Characterization assessments– Model applications
(calibration/verification/simulation)
• IWRM – the current “silver bullet”
![Page 5: Internacional water-resources-issues](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b16441a28ab87308b46d3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

• Per cápita alcanzó su punto máximo la extracción de aguaen los EE.UU. en 1975 (2.300 m3/p/yr), pasando de 500en 1900 y m3/p/yr actualmente m3/p/yr 2000. Lasdemandas globales están aumentando 4.3 por ciento /año.
• El mayor uso de agua en el mundo se da en la agriculturade regadío, este uso es en gran medida ineficaz. De bajaenergía aplicación de precisión (LEPA) puede aumentar laeficiencia de rociadores 60 a 70 hasta tanto como 95 porciento. El riego por goteo es cada vez más utilizados.
• El precio del agua juega un papel clave en el uso del agua.

• First Roman aqueducts – 312 B.C. Eventually, nine watersystems conveyed through an extensive system of lead pipes.Per-capita water supply matched much of the modernindustrialized world. Well-built sewers drained the city. [Leadbecame the “downfall” of this empire]
• 1990 estimates include 1.2 billion population without safedrinking water and 1.7 billion without sanitation.
• 2012 estimates conclude that unsafe water and poorsanitation will kill more children than malaria, AIDS, andaccidents combined. Most deaths come from diarrhealdisease, and 90% of the victims are children under the age offive.

What are the water issues in Yemen?
• Water scarcity (with focus on groundwater)• High population-growth rates• Policy and institutions• Water contamination (pollution)• Lack of sustainable goals
(planning/management)
• Water awareness and education• Ineffectiveness of financial-donor projects
– The World Bank– Various U.N. agencies (primarily UNDP)– Other national governments (e.g., The
Netherlands)

– Water administration – surface water vs. groundwater
• What are the engineering “solutions”?– Build a large dam– Line irrigation canals– Regulate well-construction
specifications
• Other – water pricing; water-use regulation

![Page 32: Internacional water-resources-issues](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b16441a28ab87308b46d3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Issues and Study Approaches, Concepción and San Vicente Bays, Chile
• Fish kills (oxygen-depleted waters)• Pollution controls of fish-processing plants• Identification of other sources of pollution
– Steel and metallurgy– Textile– Chemicals and cement– Refinery and hydrocarbon (oil/LPG) off-loading– Domestic (municipal) sewage
• Bay water-quality/hydraulic study (DHI MIKE 3 model)
• Pollution Control Plan (PCP) for CONAMA• Technical transfer and training• Stakeholder identification and involvement• Local technical collaboration and public meetings

Lessons Learned and Reality Check
• Mendoza, Argentina
– Engineering structural components have inherent environmental and socio-economic trade-offs
– Water administration and pricing – key attributes
• Concepción, Chile
– Initial perceptions on causes may need to be modified
– Important data-model links & non-technical factors
– Role of regulatory controls – consistent with real world
