    Governance and Drought Management Policies in Chile
    (Springer Nature Switzerland AG, 2025) Rivera Bravo, Daniela Pilar; Donoso Harris, Guillermo Victor
    This chapter analyzes the current institutional, governance and drought management situation in Chile, identifying the main authorities and agencies that are legally entrusted with competences in this area, and specifying the main characteristics of these functions. The most pertinent and applicable tools are subsequently reviewed, conducting a thorough conceptual and practical analysis of the declarations of water scarcity zones due to severe drought and agricultural emergency resulting from water deficit. Finally, it examines the existing gaps and challenges in addressing extreme hydrological events that are generally occurring and continue to be managed as emergencies or disasters.

    Regulation, governance, and management of fog water in Chile: Challenges in a territory of scarcity
    (2025) Rivera Bravo, Daniela Pilar; Del Río López, Camilo; Carter, Virginia; Donoso Harris, Guillermo Victor; Pimentel Rodríguez, Pamela; Aguirre Araya, Claudio Esteban
    Chile is experiencing persistent water scarcity due to prolonged drought and the impacts of climate change, requiring a comprehensive approach that integrates both demand and supply-side water management strategies. Among supply alternatives, unconventional water sources, such as fog water harvesting, offer the potential to enhance water security. Despite its promise and existing experience in its development, the broader implementation of fog water harvesting remains limited by the lack of clear legal status and regulatory frameworks surrounding its infrastructure and use. This article analyses the current legal context of fog water in Chile, highlighting the need for clear regulations governing its ownership, collection, storage, distribution and use. A proposed regulatory framework is presented to facilitate the responsible and effective integration of fog water as a complementary resource, thereby contributing to water scarcity mitigation and strengthening societal resilience.
