Objectives of the project TWINLATIN include
- to fill gaps in knowledge and methods in order to enable implementation of a harmonised IWRM approach in Latin American river basins (Cuareim/Quaraà river basin (Brazil), Catamayo Chira river basin (Ecuador), Lake Nicaragua (Cocibolca), Cauca River Basin (Colombia), Baker river basin (Chile)), addressing the European Water Initiative and using the European Water Framework Directive as a guiding reference approach
- to enable and perform assessment of climate change effects on the hydrological regime, water availability and water quality of the basins, and to identify and analyse actions addressing the EU WI (water quality and availability, conditions for poor communities as a means to reduce poverty)
- to enable proposition of actions that have been analysed from all perspectives; surface water availability, surface water quality, groundwater availability and quality, sustainability criteria, domestic, agricultural, industrial and hydropower stakeholder interests.
