| Systematized, accessible and reliable information and knowledge |
Data on environmental, social and economic aspects |
- Data are mainly available to support the creation of plans, but they are not systematized.
- Registration of users, grants and licenses still have low reach.
- Communication and information on official websites, IGARN Itinerant, events, radio and TV communication and basin committees. |
| Quantitative and qualitative monitoring of water |
- The evolution of rainfall, levels of the main reservoirs and river flows are monitored. |
| Medium and long-term climate and demand projections |
- There are no long-term climate projections
- The State Water Resources plan forecasts demand, but the new plan has not yet been completed. |
| Risk/conflict management |
Prevention and response to disasters |
- Emergency water security plan for 2017, with structuring and non-structuring actions to respond to prolonged periods of drought.
- IGARN monitors 120 dams in the state to identify weaknesses.
- State Council of Civil Defense of the State for decision-making on risk management.
- Recovery program for dams and weirs with structures in a critical situation.
- CEMADEN monitors and issues early warnings of the likely occurrence of natural disasters for the State Civil Defense agencies. |
| Mechanisms for social participation and negotiated allocation |
- The state GRH council and 3 river basin committees have been instituted and acted.
- Discussion forums between the committees.
- Update of the state water resources plan with the participation of society.
- Water is allocated within the scope of the committees and ANA. |
| Compliance with rules |
Well-defined usage rules |
- Water bodies have not yet been classified into use class. |
| Inspection and sanctions for non-compliance |
- The inspection of uses and grants and licenses are fragile, mainly due to the lack of resources and technical personnel. |
| Presence of physical, technological and institutional infrastructure |
Efficiency in the different uses of water, promoting increased capture, use, storage and reduction of rainwater losses |
- There is no efficient monitoring of abstracted water losses. But a rate of 49.8% of losses in the distribution of captured water is estimated, which may be due to leaks or unauthorized withdrawal. |
| Efficient institutional arrangement, well-structured bodies, financial and human capital, implementation of water resources management instruments |
- Specific bodies to act in water resource and environmental management.
- Water resources policy established, but with weaknesses in the implementation of instruments.
- Lack of human capital and employee turnover.
- There are not enough resources, mainly because there is no charge for the use of water and licensing of hydraulic works.
- The transfer of federal resources occurs when the state declares an emergency situation, mainly due to drought.
- Federal financial support for executing administrative activities, equipping the organ, hiring personnel, etc.
- Financial support from the federal government for executing works. |
| Providing water infrastructure that guarantees access to water in sufficient quantity and quality for its uses |
- Provision of infrastructure (weirs, dams, wells, water mains) for collection and distribution in the territory.
- Alternative diffuse systems (cisterns, underground dams, desalination plants).
- Need for supply system maintenance. |
| Learning and Adaptation |
Risk perception |
- The actors interviewed perceive the risks in the sense of climatic events worsening with an occurrence history in the state. |
| Policies and plans on climate change |
- There is a commission working to elaborate State Policy to combat the effects of Climate Change since March 2020, but for which there was no specific legislation until then. |
Incorporation of climate change risks in management |
- Risks are not yet a factor that guides decisions in water resource management, as they have not been internalized in the public agenda as an important agenda.
- The CBHPA has been putting discussions on climate change on the agenda. |
