- Decreasing vulnerability to water shortages in Santa Marta, Ciénaga, and Zona Bananera.
Decreasing vulnerability to water shortages in Santa Marta, Ciénaga, and Zona Bananera.
¿Por qué del Proyecto?
The northwestern region of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (SNSM) in northern Colombia is highly vulnerable to water shortages as a result of droughts and changes in rainfall and river flow rates associated with climate change. Climate change is expected to reduce water supply by 46% due to a 1ºC increase in temperature and between 10% and 30% decrease in precipitation for the period 2011-2040 based on a multi-scenario analysis that averages the four RCPs (RCP2.6, RCP4.5, RCP6.0, and RCP8.5). Funding is being requested from the Green Climate Fundin order to increase the water security of urban and rural water users in the river basins located in this region, based on improving the adaptive capacities of the most vulnerable communities, a stable supply of water ecosystem services and more resilient, productive, and diversified livelihoods in supply watersheds. These outcomes will be achieved through increased resilience through the conservation and restoration of key ecosystems in the provision of water regulation services and soil erosion control,including climate resilient rural water supply systems, adoption of climate-smart/water saving technologies, improved livelihoods of most vulnerable people to face the effects of climate variability and change, and through enhanced water governance under a changing climate. The Project will benefit 615,577 people inhabiting the urban centers of Santa Marta, and Ciénaga and Zona Bananera, which are located in the project target area, including Pueblo Viejo, which even though it is not located within the project area, it does obtain its water supply from one of the project watersheds (607,601 people), and 7,976 people from rural agricultural areas covering 12,772 hectares, over a period of 7 years. Conservation International (CI)as an Accredited Agency will lead this initiative,working with the Fundación Pro Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, CI Colombia and a national financial entity that will administer aninnovative financial mechanism to provide incentivesthatpromote a more efficient use of water and climate-smart investments, jointly asExecuting Entities, in coordination with the regional environmental authority (CORPAMAG), the Magdalena Government, the municipalities, the Santa Marta and Ciénaga Water Fund, agricultural co-ops, and local community organizations.
