This solution seeks to ensure water supply in the Shullcas river basin, which is threatened by the progressive melting of the Huaytapallana snow-capped mountain that has been altering its water regime. The solution was designed under the integrated basin management approach, promoting better water resource management on both the supply and demand sides. Actions at the local level were adjusted based on an analysis of climate capacity and vulnerability, which identified the dependence between the livelihoods of the population and the ecosystems. Adaptation actions include:

– Reforestation and conservation of natural grasslands and pastures to promote water retention.

– Improved practices to reduce water consumption in agriculture.

– Improved water use practices in urban areas.

– Capacity building at the local and regional level to manage a mechanism of retribution for ecosystem services that seeks the sustainability of the solution.
