    Challenges and approaches to Drought management in Latin America
    (2025) Donoso H., Guillermo; Rivera, Daniela; Paizano-Potoy, Jairo; Urquijo-Reguera, Julia
    This policy note examines the current state of drought management in South America througha three-pillar framework: monitoring and early warning, vulnerability and impact assessment,and mitigation and preparedness. Findings reveal substantial heterogeneity across countries,with only a few adopting proactive and integrated approaches. Most responses remainreactive, characterized by institutional fragmentation, weak early warning systems, andlimited availability of vulnerability and impact data. A composite index indicates that nocountry fully meets all its goals. The main challenges include the predominance of reactiveand fragmented policy approaches, the weak integration of early warning systems andmonitoring tools into decision-making processes, institutional gaps and inadequateintersectoral coordination, limited development and use of vulnerability and impactassessments, and constrained financial and technical capacities to support long-termresilience-building efforts

    Droughts in Chile: Impacts, Monitoring, and Adaptation (Management) Policies
    (Springer, 2025) Rivera Bravo, Daniela Pilar; Donoso H., Guillermo; Gironás León, Jorge Alfredo; Núñez Grahmann, Marialina I.; Morandé, Felipe G.; Meza, Francisco Javier; Fernández, Francisco J.; Vásquez-Lavín, Felipe; Díaz, José A.; Montecinos, Mauricio; Rivera, Daniela; Donoso, Guillermo
    The case of Chile is illustrative of a transition from command and control to market-based management policies, where economic incentives play a significant role in water management. This book deals with drought policy in Chile and other countries. It offers a detailed examination of drought management and policies. It describes, analyzes and evaluates the performance of drought policies, laws and institutions, identifies the main challenges that Chile faces and derives lessons learnt. Expert contributors discuss such topics as Chile’s drought water policy, and the reasoning which explains present challenges.

    Flexible Instruments to Address Water Security in the Context of Climate Uncertainty: A Case Study of Option Contracts in a Chilean River Basin
    (ASCE-AMER SOC CIVIL ENGINEERS, 2025) Ávila, Antonia; Vicuña, Sebastián; Gironás, Jorge; Melo, Oscar; Rivera, Daniela; Molinos, María
    Climate change is causing widespread extreme weather events around the world, affecting food and water security. One example is Chile, which is facing the longest drought in its history. To cope with this situation, adaptation measures such as option contracts have been explored. This type of contract allows the temporary transfer of water from one user to another, depending on weather conditions, with monetary compensation for the users who give up the water. Using the Aconcagua River basin as a case study, it was possible to evaluate the effectiveness of these contracts to mitigate the impact of drought on human consumption in a context of climatic uncertainty. The results indicate that the contract is activated between 0 and 49 times depending on the scenario and that the water supply of the water utility is increased. In conclusion, it is found that option contracts allow mitigating future water scarcity, reducing unsatisfied demand, and improving the water security of the affected populations.
